The idea of Cargo came to director Arati Kadav in 2017 after she worked on pre-production for a film for 6 months before it got shelved. After getting angry at the situation, Kadav started writing another script and after 2-3 months, she developed an idea. Cargo is the sixth screenplay writter is Kadav who has earlier made short films like Time Machine. In order to manage the budget of the film, Kadav decided to make a film with minimum location. She wrote a science fiction story set in a spaceship that also tapped into Indian mythology and isses like life and death. Kadav decided to showcase the technology in the film from the 1980s and not very advanced. She said, “I didn’t want the tech to be intimidating but more endearing.”
Kadav cited Argentine short-story writer Jorge Luis Borges and sci-fi writer Ted Chiang as her inspirations for the story.She stated: “Eastern sci-fi is more relatable as it matches with Indian culture in its milieu and values.” Massey felt the story “abstract and gorgeous”, further mentioning: “I had to read the script in detail to [decipher] what she was saying. It stunned me, and that’s when I knew I had to do this film.” The film was shot in a spaceship set for 27 days. There were two spaceship sets for both interior and exterior shoots. The film was also shot in outdoors for nearly 10 days.Shooting was finished in November, 2018.The spaceship design was inspired from a bio-mechanism of a gelly fish.The music is composed Shezan Shaikh.
