Actor Shweta Tripathi has successfully wrapped up the shoot for her upcoming feature film ‘Palkon Pe’ in Bhopal. The film began production in December last year. It was shot across multiple locations in and around Bhopal. A demanding start-to-finish schedule tested the cast and crew both creatively and physically.
Palkon Pe features Shweta Tripathi, Abhishek Chauhan and Eshan Naqvi. The film is written and directed by acclaimed ad filmmaker Niddhish Puuzhakkal. He is known for his distinctive ability to infuse visual storytelling with deep psychological insight. With Palkon Pe, Niddhish makes a compelling social drama. It explores layered and sensitive themes such as gender equality and mental health. These themes are presented through an intimate and human lens. The story centers around and involves the character Shraddha Agarwal, played by Shweta Tripathi.
Palkon Pe is produced by Rahul Gandhi’s Tamboo Entertainment and Saleem Javed’s Zaria Entertainment. It is positioned as a thought-provoking social commentary. The film aims to spark meaningful conversations. It stays rooted in emotional authenticity. The film is slated for release in 2026.
Speaking about completing the shoot, Shweta Tripathi shared in a detailed note, “Shooting across Bhopal over a continuous; gruelling schedule really pushed all of us, but it also created a sense of camaraderie and honesty that reflects in the work we’ve done. What drew me to Palkon Pe was the courage of its storytelling. It doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable questions around divorce, gender equality, sexuality and mental health that are often spoken about in hushed tones or oversimplified. Niddhish has such a unique way of looking at human behaviour; he brings a psychologist’s sensitivity to every frame, every silence, every emotion. As an actor, that kind of direction allows you to dig deeper, to sit with discomfort, and to be truthful.”
Shweta further adds, “Working with my co-actors Abhishek and Eshan was equally enriching. Everyone brought such sincerity to the table, and that made even the toughest days feel purposeful. Palkon Mein is a story that stayed with me after the camera cut. I genuinely hope it resonates with audiences when it releases.”
With its strong creative team, Palkon Pe promises to be a significant addition to contemporary Indian cinema. It has a socially relevant narrative and powerful performances. The movie releases in 2026.
