New Delhi: Veteran star Helen is all set to make a comeback with a neo-noir crime drama series titled 'Brown'. It also marks her debut in the digital platform.

The series, directed by Abhinay Deo, is set in the city of Kolkata, as per a media report. Based on the book by Abheek Barua's 'City of Death', 'Brown' also features Karisma Kapoor and Surya Sharma.

A media report quoted Helen as saying that when she was first approached, what put her to ease was the "clarity and assurance the team gave me about my role."

"I identify with this character and I plan to simply enjoy myself as I return to the set."

The octogenarian added that she "was nervous looking at how things have changed since I was last on screens, but having witnessed the change, it is all good and is in fact, fascinating to say the least, for this is a space I have never experienced before."
