Karisma Kapoor to star in Abhinay Dev’s ‘Brown’

Actress Karisma Kapoor is all set to star in “Brown”, a project directed by “Delhi Belly” fame Abhinay Dev. Backed by Zee Studios, “Brown” is based on the book “City of Death” by Abheek Barua.

The makers are yet to specify whether the project is a feature film or a web series.

Billed as a neo noir crime drama set in the bustling city of Kolkata, “Brown” also stars Surya Sharma.

Kapoor, who plays a detective in the project, said she is looking forward to essaying “an extremely strong character in an interesting story”.

The actor said in a statement, “Brown is one of a kind storytelling that is not only exciting but also challenging for any actor and that is what attracted me to take up this role. I can’t wait to start shooting.” “

Dev said the project is a character study never seen before.

“‘Brown’ is an extremely well-crafted story that gives me an opportunity to delve deeper into the human psyche and relationships,” he added.

“We have always prided ourselves on stories that have a global appeal and ‘Brown – The First Case’ will reinforce this. We are thrilled to have Karisma Kapoor as the lead actor in this project, and Abhinay Dev is driving it. We look forward to setting new benchmarks in storytelling,” said Zee Studios CBO Sharik Patel.

This project will go on floor this month.
