Must Read! Sujoy Ghosh and Kareena Kapoor Khan come together for his upcoming murder mystery

MUMBAI: Filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh is all set to start working on the screen adaptation of Keigo Higashimo’s most acclaimed work, The Devotion of Suspect X. He had apparently announced this project in 2015, and now after almost seven years, he is ready to helm the adaptation casting Kareena Kapoor Khan in the lead.

Kareena Kapoor Khan is one of the finest actresses we have in Bollywood. The actress has been quite away from the silver screen ever since the birth of her second son Jehangir Ali Khan. Although she did shoot some bits and parts of Laal Singh Chadha with Aamir Khan before pregnancy, while she was pregnant and after her pregnancy as well. But now the actress is finally going to start working on her first film post-delivery.
