Positive word of mouth for Vikrant Massey and Shweta Tripathi Sharma's Cargo at the MAMI festival has set the ball rolling for the film. Mounted on a small budget, the actor says the film is "high on concept" — something that gratifies her as an artiste. It's not money so much as the "sheer joy of movies," she insists, that keeps her going.

"When this script came to me, I was sold on director Arati Kadav's vision. It's a sci-fi movie that even the common man can relate to," says Tripathi, adding that the Kadav, Anurag Kashyap, Shlok Sharma, and Navin Shetty production asks pertinent questions that often plague people. "It asks deep poignant questions about life, the afterlife and existential crisis. It's a thought-provoking film that is rooted in folklore as much as science," she adds.
