Actor Prashanth Goswami who is best known for his role on ‘Kaatelal & Sons’, is set to feature in the webseries ‘Scoop’, on Netflix. Created and directed by Hansal Mehta and Mrunmayee Lagoo Waikul, it stars Prosenjit Chatterjee, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Karishma Tanna, Harman Baweja, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Deven Bhojani in lead roles.

Giving insights about his role, Prashanth mentioned, "’Scoop’, as evidenced from the trailers, is a crime drama accentuating on journalism. I'm portraying the role of a junior reporter and am in the select group of reporters and journalists alongside the leading lady of the show, Karishma Tanna. I'm a novice at work who is still trying to set himself respectably at work especially when deluged with top senior journalists."

Sharing about how he prepared for the role, he said, "Hansal Sir naturally presided over the session where we would read our lines and be clarified in case of any doubt. I had already begun the research on my part solely on the basis of the brief I was relayed to by the direction team. I started looking for eminent stories across the country coinciding the happenings of this story (on Scoop); as I was a journalist, I would be tasked to present top stories or "scoops" as the lingo goes in this profession and so I carefully and meticulously chose stories to present to Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub Sir's character on the series.”

Describing his working experience with co-actors Karishma Tanna and Zeeshan, he said, "I was the first one to reach the venue on the group reading day. And in the interim of others' arrival, I kept rehearsing how I would greet the cast and the director. I still remember I was a little diffident as Hansal Sir, Karishma Ma'am & Zeeshan Sir are all big names. I dreaded I might be overlooked by them but to my relieving surprise, all of them were beyond affable. The whole session was very light hearted in its tone without letting go of the sincerity. Zeeshan Sir oriented himself so sweetly to me and I couldn't believe it when he shook my hands. In fact, I surmise it made the shoot a lot smoother upon having gotten acclimated to each other."
