Actress Shweta Tripathi trained with real circus artists for her first Tamil film, Mehandi Circus. The actress essays the title role, Mehandi, who is a circus performer in the upcoming romance drama.

"I am really excited as this is my first Tamil film. It was a great learning to train with real circus artists. I always knew from books and shows that the lives of circus artists are not easy, but spending time and learning from them made me realise the amount of effort they put in and how they constantly jostle between life and death," Shweta said in a statement.
