The makers of Kareena Kapoor Khan’s much awaited streaming debut, ’Jaane Jaan’, finally released its first trailer on Tuesday. Based on the bestselling mystery novel ‘The Devotion of Suspect X’, the film is helmed by Sujoy Ghosh and also stars Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma in supporting roles. It is believed that the novel was also the inspiration for the blockbuster Malayalam language franchise ‘Drishyam’.
In the trailer, we see Kareena as Maya D’Souza, who appears to be in an abusive relationship. The film, which is set in the hill station of Kalimpong, features Jaideep as Naren, Maya’s neighbour and more like a creepy stalker. Vijay plays the cop Karan, who ends up in Kalimpong looking for Maya’s missing husband. However, he develops a romantic relationship with her. Karan and Naren are old friends, and the former tells the latter that his ‘hot padosi’ also happens to be the prime suspect.
