Shweta Tripathi, who has completed Mirzapur: The Film as well as the series, has moved on to her next movie. The actress is prepping for an intense drama even after exploring the world of Mirzapur. However, Shweta has embraced change in her life in certain ways. She has spilled the beans on her next project. Here’s everything you need to know…

Shweta Tripathi, best known for playing Golu in the world of Mirzapur, is exploring an intense drama film as her next. She confirmed the same to Mid-Day while sharing, “There is a certain emotional weight to it. I’ve started prepping already — I am reading, doing workshops, and spending time understanding her inner world. I know it’s going to push me, and that’s exactly why I said yes to it.”

Shweta Tripathi believes in transitioning from one project to another by changing her look. She has trimmed her hair for her next project. “Every time I finish a project, I cut my hair. It sounds simple, but for me it’s emotional. I’ve lived with a character I started doing nearly a decade ago for months. I’ve carried her thoughts, her anger, her silences. The haircut is my way of telling myself okay, that chapter is done,” she confirmed. While being extremely grateful for Mirzapur’s Golu, Shweta is also certain that she doesn’t want to get too comfortable and wishes to grow rather than be stuck with one image. “It’s not about doing anything extreme. It’s about having fun with who you are. Sometimes just seeing yourself differently in the mirror can unlock something internally. It gives me fresh energy,” the actress stated, adding that she’s both nervous and excited for her next project – which she believes will give her the push she needs.
