Can’t be happier to have our film grace the stage at Jio MAMI. ‘The Buckingham Murders’ is very special for me since it’s my maiden voyage as a co-producer. Working with Hansal and Ektaa is a deeply satisfying and immersive process. We are only hoping our film will reach wider audiences and break barriers globally,” she said in a statement. Hansal said the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival has been home to him ever since “Shahid” and returning to the movie gala with “The Buckingham Murders” is a proud moment for him. “It’s the story of South Asian communities settled outside India, and it is heartening to see the world take notice of the kind of cinema we are now capable of producing in India. This movie is our labour of love. It’s a thriller, but at the heart of it is a human story about people we may know,” the director added.
