Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan turn up in style for Karisma Kapoor's 'Brown' screening in Mumbai
Mumbai, June 4
Bollywood couple Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan turned heads as they attended the special screening of Karisma Kapoor's upcoming web series 'Brown'.
Kareena, Saif and Karisma grabbed the attention as they posed for the camera.
For the evening, Karisma opted for a black outfit paired with a long patterned coat, while Kareena looked stunning in a traditional ensemble. Saif kept it classic in an all-black outfit as the trio posed for media at the event.
Headlined by Karisma Kapoor in the role of a cop, the series also features Surya Sharma, Jisshu Sengupta, and Soni Razdan in pivotal roles.
Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra was also present at the event.
Actor-singer Meiyang Chang and several other industry personalities joined the screening, adding to the glamour of the evening.
As per the makers, Brown is a "neo-noir psychological crime thriller set against the haunting beauty and moral chaos of Kolkata. At its centre is Rita Brown (played by Karisma Kapoor), once the city's finest cop--now a disgraced, alcoholic officer haunted by past."
Speaking to ANI, Karisma shared, "Earlier, I refused to play the role in Brown. I was like, 'How will I go to Kolkata for so many days?' So, I turned down the role. Then, I met Abhinay (Deo). After hearing the role, the character, the rawness, I said yes, and I'm sitting here. It was very challenging and very exciting for me. She is so broken, but she is strong, too. She has softness and hardness, too. I think the audience sees this uniqueness."
Karisma reflected on her journey, noting that she started working from a very young age."I am like this now. I don't like to work so much. I have done it a lot. I was very young when I started working. I have a different pace. I have a different mood. I work from here, from my heart. So, if I like it, I will do it. Otherwise, no," she said.
Directed by Abhinay Deo and produced by Zee Studios, 'Brown' will premiere on June 5 exclusively on Hindi ZEE5.

Kareena's traditional look was definitely the highlight 🌸 But Saif, why always all-black? Mix it up once in a while, boss! As for the series, I'm actually excited because Karisma hasn't done digital yet. Kolkata setting + psychological thriller = could be a game-changer for her. Let's hope the writing is as strong as the cast.
I love how Karisma is honest about her struggles—turning down the role initially because she didn't want to go to Kolkata for so long, then connecting with the character's rawness. That's real dedication. More actors should have that humility. And yes, the Kapoor clan knows how to rock an event! 👍
Kareena and Saif are such a power couple—their chemistry in person is amazing. But what's with the same poses every time? 😄 Jokes aside, I'm curious about 'Brown'. The description of a "disgraced alcoholic cop" sounds intense. Hope it's not too cliche and actually brings something new to the cop genre. Fingers crossed for June 5!
Karisma's revelation about refusing the role initially because she didn't want to travel—that's so relatable for working women! And then she took it on because the character spoke to her. That's the mark of a true artist. Kareena and Saif looked great too, but the real star here is Karisma's honesty. Can't wait for the series!
I've always admired Saif's understated elegance
