Shweta Tiwari and Kratika Sengar bag new soap Mannat

Shweta Tiwari, one of the highest paid Indian television actresses, is set to make her comeback on small screen after a gap of three years. Known for such successful shows as Kaahin Kissii Roz, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, and Parvarrish – Kuchh Khattee Kuchh Meethi, the actress was last seen in Begusarai.

According to latest media reports, Shweta has been roped in to play the female lead in the upcoming &TV show called Mannat. Interestingly, her last daily soap Begusarai was also an &TV offering.


Besides Shweta Tiwari, another popular Indian television actress is also gearing up to make her comeback with Mannat.

If reports are to be believed, Kratika Sengar has been signed on to play the parallel lead in the show. She was last seen in Ekta Kapoor’s reincarnation drama, Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki, which ended its run last year.

Mannat is being produced by Bodhi Tree Productions.

More details are awaited.

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
