The bestselling novel has already been adapted in China, Korea and Japan.
The Big Picture Netflix on Tuesday unveiled the first trailer for its new Hindi-language film — arguably one of its biggest releases of the year — Jaane Jaan, which also marks Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan’s streaming debut. Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, Jaane Jaan is an adaptation of the bestselling Japanese novel “The Devotion of Suspect X,” written by Keigo Higashino.
Right off the bat, it’s clear that Ghosh is making noticeable changes to the original story, the most prominent being the re-framing of the narrative through the perspective of the female protagonist. “The Devotion of Suspect X,” which has already been adapted in China, Japan, and Korea, is told through the eyes of a math teacher who comes to the rescue of his neighbor, who murders her abusive husband in self-defense.
The police officer in Jaane Jaan is named Karan and is played by Vijay Varma, an acclaimed actor who broke out with the 2019 rap drama Gully Boy, which was selected as India’s official entry to the Oscars. As it turns out, Karan is old friends with the teacher Naren, who is played in the movie by Jaideep Ahlawat; he broke after years in the trenches with the 2020 Prime Video series Paatal Lok.
Ghosh Is a Proven Hand in the Mystery Genre Ghosh most recently worked with both Netflix and Varma on the anthology film Lust Stories 2, in which he directed one of four segments. Before that, he created and directed the mystery series Typewriter for the streamer. Kapoor Khan, who made her acting debut in the year 2000, has consistently remained among the top Bollywood stars of her generation and was last seen in Laal Singh Chaddha, the Hindi remake of Robert Zemeckis’ classic Forrest Gump.
Jaane Jaan will be released on Netflix on Kapoor Khan’s birthday on September 21. You can watch the trailer here, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
