Singham Returns actor, Smita Tambe lands the female lead in Hawa Badle Hassu. Smita will be seen essaying the character of Arti, a student pursuing Ph.D. in Environmental sciences while working at a CNG pump station during the day. The power house actor is a much sought after name in the Marathi Film industry and has been making her presence felt in Bollywood too with her upcoming film Panga alongside Kangana Ranaut and Season 2 of popular Netflix series Sacred Games.

Arti meets Hassu (played by Chandan Roy Sanyal) & his quirky eco-friendly auto-rickshaw at the CNG pump station where she works during the day. She is one of those people who has no malice in her heart. She believes that the purpose of human life is to "be good, do good". She is the one who discusses with Hassu the benefits of clean fuel and the environment. Hassu, the autorickshaw driver, is impressed by her zeal and often ferries her to and fro the University and the Gas Station. Over time they become very good friends. Just good friends, or is there a spark?
