Indian cinema has no fair share in Sci-Fi genre movies. To the most extent, when talked about such films, only ‘ Mr. India ’ comes to our mind. One such attempt is going to be made by director Arati Kadav, who is known for her short films like ‘Time Machine’, ‘Uss Paar’ and ‘Gulmohar’. Kadav’s ‘Cargo’ will have talented Shweta Tripathi opposite Vikrant Massey in the lead. The film is jointly produced by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane . Shweta had earlier collaborated with Anurag for the film ‘Zoo’, India’s first film shot on iPhone, is now reuniting with the filmmaker.

Talking about the film to a leading newspaper, the 32-year-old actress said, “The most exciting thing about this film is that it is in the sci-fi genre. We have little to show for it in Hindi films apart from ‘Mr. India’ and ‘Jaani Dushman’. And even those were not really full-fledged sci-fi.”

Shweta is glad to have an author backed-role in the film. “The biggest compliment for me is when somebody writes a part with me in mind. When Arati handed the script to me to read, even the character’s name was Shweta, it is being changed now. There is certain trust and faith they have in you. It makes me very happy because I am extremely choosy about the kind of work I do,” she signs off.

The actress will be next seen in a web series ‘Mirzapur’ opposite Ali Fazal and in two films, ‘Zoo’ and ‘Illegal’, which are slated for 2018 release.
