Character will give comic relief
Talking about her role, Shweta Basu Prasad said, “Any role is unconventional. At the end of the day, they do what they do, a character has to relate to human emotion. They really all We are human beings – be it my character of a lawyer in Criminal Justice or a journalist in The Tashkent Files. All our characters are representations of human emotions. If you watch a film depicting a sex worker, they are often called ‘ Poor’. We often get that feeling. My character will provide a comic relief that is quite contradictory to its setting and the work it does. But it was a conscious effort because I wanted people to see her as a human being. Look into it and don’t let it overwhelm your work.

I talked to some sex workers there. and he told me so many things about his life that I can’t share. I was employed there, I went there to study him. I observed his mannerisms, his lingo, the way he did his makeup. , even the way they look at themselves in the mirror, the way they sit and sit on the ground, and many more. I had to create all that. When I was having a conversation with them, I felt that they are human beings like you and me. The only difference is that their work is different. They are making a living doing something different – that’s all. So I worked harder on my character, not what Works.
I liked the subject of India Lockdown very much
