Actress Shweta Tripathi, known for her roles in _Masaan_ and _Haramkhor_ ,will be playing a 15-year-old aspiring dancer in Gone Kesh, touted to be India’s first ever film based on alopecia, a disorder where the immune system attacks the hair follicles resulting in hair loss from the scalp.

Shweta will be playing a middle-class girl who wants to fulfil her dreams to become a dancer but is diagnosed with alopecia.
The film will be directed by debutante Qasim Khallow, the first ever Tibetan Muslim to work in Bollywood. Khallow has previously worked as a camera person on films like _Fan_ , _Dum Laga Ke Haisha_ , _Kill Dil_ , _Gunday_ , _Aurangzeb_ , _Ek Tha Tiger_ , Chaar Din Ki Chandni, Yamla Pagla Deewana and Chamku.
The film is set in the backdrop of a small town Siliguri, in West Bengal and will explore the different human emotions, pain, loneliness, fear, humour, courage and ignorance in a lighthearted manner.
“Gone Kesh is an extremely special film to me. I had given my consent after reading just the synopsis. I choose films when they strike a chord with me and this one did and how!” said the Harramkhor actress. She further stated that movies made on social issues and not so well-known medical conditions always create an awareness in society, according to bollywood.com
The makers of the film are looking forward to release the film by October.
