Shweta Tripathi is making waves at IFFI with her upcoming queer film, ‘Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan,’ where she serves as both producer and actress. Known for her memorable performances in 'Masaan' and 'Mirzapur', Tripathi is venturing into a new chapter in her creative journey. This heartfelt project, directed by National Award-winner Sanjoy Nag, also stars the critically acclaimed actress Tillotama Shome.

Tripathi expressed that the film is incredibly close to her heart, not only because it is her first venture as a producer but also because of the story it aims to tell. She believes that queer love stories deserve more representation and should be portrayed with honesty, beauty, and nuance.

‘Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan’ promises to be a refreshing narrative in Indian cinema, tackling a queer love story with sensitivity and depth. Tripathi's decision to produce the film underscores her commitment to telling stories that need to be told. The film is expected to challenge conventions and spark necessary conversations.

Shweta Tripathi and Tillotama Shome will be sharing screen space for the first time in this film. Shome's involvement brings a richer emotional texture to the project, rooted in shared values, mutual respect, and a desire to tell stories that matter. Tripathi deeply admires and trusts Shome and considers her a phenomenal actor.

The film follows Tripathi's acclaimed stage production, ‘Cock,’ a queer-themed play that received widespread acclaim for its raw and unfiltered portrayal of identity, desire, and love. The positive response to ‘Cock’ has inspired Tripathi to expand the impact of her storytelling onto the silver screen.

Production is scheduled to begin by the end of 2025. Further details about the film's cast and release date are expected to be announced in the coming months.
