Karisma Kapoor's Brown Delayed and Re-Edited to Focus on Motive Over Whodunit
The psychological crime thriller Brown, starring Karisma Kapoor, faced a three-year delay and was re-edited before its June 2026 release on ZEE5. Originally conceived as a traditional whodunit based on the novel City of Death, the creators shifted focus from identifying the killer to exploring the motive behind the crime. Writer Mayukh Ghosh explained this change aimed to engage modern, cinema-literate audiences, emphasizing the story's depth over the mystery of the culprit's identity.
