I really felt that that role (in the show), while it was nothing like she’s played ever before, it something that I really felt and hope that she said yes to. The interesting part was that I don’t know how it transpired, but she said yes, and I was ecstatic. I …

Karisma Kapoor is back to lead a project after a long time as she stars as a cop in the web series Brown, and the actor admits that leading a project still gives her a child-like-excitement. “For every actor, whether you are leading a show or have two scenes, you treat it like a child, your baby.

Karisma Kapoor (Photo: Instagram) While she is enjoying dabbling into the intense drama space that the current era has started to become known for, Karisma Kapoor admits to missing the light-hearted, slice-of-life romcoms that were once the signature of Bollywood in the 90s and early 2000s.

A third season has not been greenlit. It had earlier been reported that Tom was clashing with the show’s producers. A Puck News report claimed that Tom Hardy was trying to alter dialogue and provide script notes to the show’s executive producer, Jez Butterworth, …
