Shweta Tripathi has begun 2026 on a strong note with the completion of her first project of the year, the upcoming social drama
Palkon Pe. The film recently wrapped its shoot in Bhopal after going on floors in December 2025 and being filmed across multiple locations in and around the city under a tight and demanding schedule.

She added that the film’s courage to address uncomfortable social questions and Niddhish’s psychologically sensitive approach to direction allowed her to explore the character with honesty and depth.
