The film centers around Sergeant Jasmeet “Jass” Bhamra, played by Kapoor, who is struggling with the recent loss of her young son, Ekam. As she copes with her grief, she is drawn into a challenging investigation: the case of Ishpreet, a young boy who has gone missing under mysterious circumstances and happens to be around the same age as her late son. This painful parallel makes her journey through the investigation even more complex and emotionally charged.
In an interview, Kapoor mentioned that her character drew inspiration from Kate Winslet’s role in ‘Mare of Easttown’, the hit American crime series where Winslet portrayed a similarly complex detective grappling with personal tragedy. “When Hansal approached me, I instantly saw the potential to play a character that had the same kind of depth and resilience as Winslet’s role,” Kapoor shared.
Alongside Kareena, the cast includes actors such as Ash Tandon, chef-turned-actor Ranveer Brar, and British actor Keith Allen.
