Shweta Prasad seems to be taking definitive steps to distance herself from the recent scandal that erupted this September.
After finally breaking her silence over the issue, we now hear that Shweta is also rebuilding her career, with a new position as a script consultant with the Phantom production house.
Phantom is helmed by Madhu Mantena, Anurag Kashyap, Vikas Bahl and Vikramaditya Motwani.
Shweta confirmed her new role. “Yes, I am a script consultant at Phantom. I am essentially a curator there, assigned the job of going through potentially promising scripts.
It’s a job I like doing as it is helping me to grow as an actor when I read the scripts,” she said. Shweta will continue with this role until she resumes her acting career.
The former child artiste and National Award winner dismissed reports that she has been signed by Hansal Mehta for a project. “I came across a report that I had been signed for a documentary by Hansal Mehta.
How can I play a role in a documentary! The person who wrote this obviously has no clue what he was talking about,” Shweta said.
What really did take place is that Shweta met Hansal to show him her documentary, Roots, on Hindustani classical music.
“Hansal Mehta and his son Jay was also there in his office. They seemed to like my effort. Beyond that there is nothing. He has not offered me a role.”
Hansal Mehta confirmed that he had seen Shweta’s documentary and was impressed.
“It is proof of her talent,” he said. “I am most certainly going to work with her. But I haven’t decided on the project.”
