Actor Karisma Kapoor is all set to feature in 'Brown', a project directed by Abhinay Deo of the movie 'Delhi Belly' fame. 'Brown' is based on Abheek Barua's debut novel 'City of Death', which was published in 2020.
'City of Death' is a crime thriller that follows the story of investigator Sohini Sen, as she tries to uncover a murder mystery. "On a muggy monsoon afternoon, Sohini Sen gets a call from the chief minister's office. A young woman from a well-connected family in the city has been found brutally murdered. Sen is brought back from a bureaucratic wasteland to the thick of the action. An intelligent and intuitive investigator who struggles with addiction and depression, Sen is ill-prepared for an investigation that is a political minefield with TV anchors and tabloids baying for blood. As various interested parties, armed with power and money, try to manipulate the murder enquiry, Sen is forced to question the very possibility of justice," reads the book's blurb.
