Soni Razdan has shared that working with the legendary Helen on the ZEE5 crime thriller 'Brown' was an unexpectedly joyful experience. The veteran star's impeccable comic timing often left Razdan struggling to deliver her lines without laughing.
A Surprising Revelation
In a recent interview, Razdan recalled how Helen's presence brought a lightness to the intense series. She described Helen's comic timing as a 'revelation' and admitted that during one scene, she could not say her lines because she wanted to laugh. The seven-episode series, directed by Abhinay Deo, also features Karisma Kapoor in the lead role.
Family Connection Eased Filming
Razdan plays Janice, the mother of Kapoor's character Rita Brown. She noted that their real-life family bond made the filming process smoother. 'It was a pleasure working with her. The fact that we were already family made a huge difference and went a long way in making it easy,' Razdan said. She also joked about the timeline, saying she does not recall if the shooting of 'Brown' happened before or after Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt's wedding.
Strong Ensemble and Career Reflections
The cast of 'Brown' includes a strong ensemble, with Helen's screen presence drawing attention. Razdan praised the show for giving her a substantial role and a chance to work closely with Kapoor. Reflecting on her acting journey, she argued that retirement feels unfair for performers who still have the energy and passion to work. Her comments highlight how streaming platforms are offering diverse roles to actors across age groups.
'Brown' marks a significant screen return for Karisma Kapoor, who leads the thriller as Rita Brown. Razdan's insights reveal how the cast's off-screen comfort contributed to the show's working dynamics, making it a memorable experience.
