Shweta Tripathi’s maiden film as producer, Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan to star Tillotama Shome

Actor-producer Shweta Tripathi is ready to turn the page to a new, daring chapter in her creative journey with the announcement of her first feature film as a producer, Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan. A queer love story that promises to challenge conventions and stir deep, necessary conversations, the project signals a powerful step forward for Tripathi—one marked by passion, purpose, and unflinching honesty.

Shweta Tripathi makes powerful producer debut with queer romance

Joining her on this emotional odyssey is the ever-versatile and critically acclaimed actress Tillotama Shome, who also happens to be a close friend of Shweta’s. This marks their first on-screen collaboration, making the film’s journey even more intimate and meaningful. Helming the director’s chair is National Award-winner Sanjoy Nag, and the film is scheduled to begin production by the end of 2025.

Earlier this year, Shweta had offered a glimpse into her production debut, revealing that it would center on a queer narrative. With Tillotama now attached, the project takes on a richer emotional texture—one rooted in shared values, mutual respect, and a desire to tell stories that matter.

This cinematic endeavour follows in the wake of the success of Cock, Shweta’s previous foray into queer storytelling—a stage production that garnered widespread acclaim for its raw, unfiltered portrayal of identity, desire, and love. Buoyed by the audience's powerful response, Shweta is now setting her sights on the silver screen to expand the impact of her storytelling.

Reflecting on this momentous collaboration, Shweta shares, “This film is very close to my heart — not just because it’s my first as a producer, but because of what it stands for. Queer love stories deserve to be told with honesty, beauty, and nuance. Having Tillotama on board makes this even more special. She’s not just a phenomenal actor, she’s also someone I deeply admire and trust. We’ve been wanting to work together for a long time, and I can’t think of a better project to begin this journey with.”

With Mujhe Jaan Na Kaho Meri Jaan, Shweta aims to shine a spotlight on stories too often left in the margins—stories that are tender, transformative, and deeply human. As anticipation builds, more details about the film’s cast, title treatment, and release will be revealed in the coming months.
