Murder Mubarak Trailer Launch: Karisma Kapoor on ‘eccentric’ role and how OTT is different than cinema: “Things are much more realistic and much more prepared”

As shared on Bollywood Hungama, Karisma Kapoor told the media, “In OTT, things are much more realistic and much more prepared not that they aren’t in films. But, in OTT, you have a lot more readings and lot more time given. There are two ways – some are long formats which are very different series. But, this was a film. But, the interesting thing for me in Murder Mubarak is this character, she is an actress and a dream girl from suspense movies. She is very real and quirky, eccentric but she is very human. That’s what I found really intriguing and different. Homi’s main thing was ‘Yeah, she may be a bit OTT in a way but she is human’. I liked that aspect for me. You will see a different me and I hope you enjoy it.”
