Karisma Kapoor makes a comeback in ‘Brown’

Karisma Kapoor returns to acting with the upcoming web series Brown in which she plays a cop named Rita Brown. The role is a bit of a departure for the actor and she spoke about how she is ‘stripped down of all the glamour and glitz’ in the show, Hindustan Times.

Karisma plays the character of a recovering alcoholic, who works for Kolkata Police and has to investigate the murder of a young woman from a well-known family. The series was shown at the Berlin Series Market Selects platform. She plays a recovering alcoholic named Rita Brown, a cop, who is investigating the murder of a young woman and spoke about playing a deglamorised character in her upcoming project ‘Brown’.

‘Brown’ is based on Abheek Barua’s 2016 book ‘City of Death’. The thriller has been adapted by Digvijay Singh, Sunayana Kumari and Mayukh Ghosh, while Abhinay Deo has directed the series. Besides Karisma, Brown also features veteran actor Helen, Soni Razdan, Surya Sharma and KK Raina.

Speaking to Variety about Brown in a new interview, Karisma shared, “I’ve had a long career, I’ve been there, done that, done a variety of roles, but when I read the character Rita Brown, I just felt it, because she was so different, so diverse — she was flawed, but human, super smart, super intelligent, and you can literally see the growth of this woman. For me, as an actress to be stripped down of all the glamour and the glitz, that was extremely interesting for me. Rita Brown is very inspirational to women out there and that’s something that really touched me because I’ve also been through a journey in life.”

The actor was last seen in the Zee5 series ‘Mentalhood’ in 2020.
