About ‘Taali’
“Taali” will shed light on transgender activist Shreegauri· Shreegauri Sawant’s relentless pursuit of third gender recognition in India. The trailer begins with Sushmita in a saree looking at herself in the mirror and fixing her big bindi.
A picture of queer icon and iconic singer Usha Uthup can be seen on its shelf. We then see members of the transgender community greet Sushmita, who plays Shreegauri Sawant, and touch her feet. Born Pune, Shreegauri left home at a young age not to disappoint her police officer father.
She founded the Sakhi Char Chowghi Trust in 2000. The NGO counsels and promotes safe sex for transgender people in the community.
