Kareena Kapoor Khan to play a schizophrenic in Raj Kumar Gupta's thriller

3 Feb 2015

Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is enjoying her married life right now, has been taking her career at a comparatively slower pace. Though we only got rare glimpses of the actress in 2014, 2015 promises to be a better year for the actress, with three movies in the pipeline for release. Just a month ago, we had reported about Kareena Kapoor Khan being signed by No One Killed Jessica fame Raj Kumar Gupta for his upcoming film.

Though he refrained from talking about the film then, now the filmmaker confirms that not only is the actress playing a protagonist in this thriller but she will be seen as a schizophrenia patient in the film. From what we hear, the dark and mysterious tale revolves around Kareena's character; who is caught up in trouble, when she is released from a mental asylum. Amidst this dangerous mental condition, situations are created where she gets trapped into the web of a criminal activity.

According to Raj Kumar Gupta, this untitled film explores the Section 84 of the Indian Penal Code and is also based on a real life incident. Section 84 signifies the 'Act of a person of unsound mind' which specially means, 'Nothing is an offence which is done by a person who, at the time of doing it, by reason of unsoundness of mind, is incapable of knowing the nature of the act, or that he is doing what is either wrong or contrary to law.' However, Raj Kumar did not elaborate further about the film's plot and hasn't revealed the names of the actors who have been roped in to play other characters. The film in question will go on floor in April.
