In a powerful new cinematic endeavour, the life and work of Indian transgender activist Shreegauri Sawant will be brought to the big screen in a 'Taali'. The project is helmed by National Award-winning director Ravi Jadhav, written by Kshitij Patwardhan, and jointly produced by Arjun Singgh Baran, Kartk D Nishandar of GSEAMS Production, and Afeefa Nadiadwala. The series will spotlight Sawant's brave journey of mobilization of trans rights marked by struggle, resilience and persistence.

The film features renowned actress Sushmita Sen in the lead role as Sawant. A recent teaser gives us a glimpse into Sen's portrayal of the queer activist. As Sawant, she's seen being respectfully greeted by members of the transgender community. Intriguingly, a photo of queer icon and legendary singer Usha Uthup also features in the backdrop.
