The film hits Netflix in September.
The Big Picture Netflix on Friday unveiled a teaser for perhaps its biggest Indian film of the year — Jaane Jaan, a Hindi-language adaptation of the bestselling Japanese novel "The Devotion of Suspect X." Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, the mystery thriller marks the streaming debut of Kareena Kapoor Khan, widely regarded as one of the most popular Bollywood actresses of her generation.
The 30-second teaser doesn’t reveal anything about the film’s plot, which means that viewers that are acquainted with the source novel wouldn't recognize familiar scenes. But it provides first looks at the characters played by Kapoor Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma, and also reveals the film’s release date, which will coincide with Kapoor Khan’s birthday on September 21.
We then cut to an almost unrecognizable Ahlawat, who appears to have been buried under thick prosthetics and a hairpiece, and Varma, who seems to be in a rush as he steps out of his car. The second half of the teaser reveals a quick burst of shots from the film, which, when paused and considered individually, reveal action, violence and even a little romance.
"Jaane Jaan is based on the book which has been the love of my life for a long, long time. From the day I read Devotion of Suspect X, I wanted to adapt it into a film. It was the most amazing love story I had ever read and today thanks to Kareena, Jaideep, and Vijay that story is alive on screen. We all worked very hard to tell this story and hopefully the audience will love it as much as we do.
The Indian Film Industry Is Doubling Down on Remakes and Adaptations Kapoor Khan made her acting debut in the year 2000, and has since starred in blockbuster Hindi movies such as Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Heroine, 3 Idiots and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. She last starred in another remake, Laal Singh Chaddha, which was based on the classic Forrest Gump. Jaane Jaan is the latest in a string of high-profile Indian adaptations this year, after Rana Naidu , The Trial and Class .
