Creators Arjun and Kartk are thrilled with the response to the teaser of their eagerly-awaited web series 'Taali'. The Sushmita Sen starrer is based on the life of transgender social activist Shreegauri Sawant and the duo say, "The teaser offers just a glimpse of Sushmita Sen's stunning performance in 'Taali'. Her passion for bringing Shreegauri Sawant's struggles and triumphs to life is clearly visible in every scene. She is a very intuitive actor and internalises the characters she plays. Her voice is extraordinary, as is her understanding of complex themes. This is why when she delivers a dialogue, no matter how short it is, people listen with undivided attention."
The creators are also hoping that the show will highlight the need for a more inclusive society for transgender citizens. They say, "Imagine having to petition to be recognised as a gender. Shreegauri Sawant's story will reveal how many odds citizens like her have to face. She is a huge inspiration as a human-being who not only triumphed over societal challenges but also adopted the daughter of a deceased AIDS patient. Both Sushmita and Shreegauri Sawant are adoptive mothers and bonded closely over this common factor."
The teaser of the show was released last week. Check out here:
The show will air shortly on Jio Cinema which is created by Arjun Singgh Baran & Kartk D Nishandar and is directed by filmmaker Ravi Jadhav. The script is written by Kshitij Patwardhan. The show is produced by Arjun Singgh Baran, Kartk D Nishandar and Afeefa Nadiadwala. Sushmita Sen plays the title character, Shreegauri Sawant, in the series.
