A decade ago, before streaming giants had set foot in the Indian entertainment industry, Abhinay Deo had introduced desi audiences to limited series with 24. The two-season limited series was a novel concept for viewers who were used to unending telly sagas. Today, as the director makes his web series debut with Brown, he feels it’s a homecoming of sorts. “In 2013, we released 24 on television as that was the only [medium] available then. The concept of limited series was introduced by us [in India],” he recalls, before focusing on the Karisma Kapoor-starrer that is premiering at the Berlinale Series Market Selects today.
