Earlier this year, actress Shweta Tripathi announced her debut as a producer with a queer drama titled Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan. The film will feature Shweta herself alongside acclaimed actress Tillotama Shome, who will play a pivotal role. Directed by Sanjoy Nag, this queer love story aims to challenge stereotypes and ignite meaningful conversations. The project is scheduled to begin filming by the end of 2025.
This marks the first collaboration between Shweta Tripathi and Tillotama Shome, adding emotional depth and resonance to the film. The venture follows the success of Shweta’s previous queer-themed production, the play Cock, which was praised for its honest portrayal of identity and love. Encouraged by the positive reception, Shweta is now expanding her vision into cinema with this significant project.
Expressing her enthusiasm, Shweta shared that the film is close to her heart not only as her first production but also for its representation of queer love stories told with honesty and nuance. She expressed admiration and trust for Tillotama, highlighting their long-standing desire to work together. With this film, Shweta aims to bring underrepresented voices to the forefront and create a narrative that is both tender and transformative, with more details on the cast and release dates to be announced soon.
