Taali is the narrative of transgender activist Shreegauri Sawant, born in Ganesh, who was reared in Pune and rose to prominence via her activism. It is a tale of suffering, resiliency, and unstoppable power.
Shreegauri Sawant is one of the petitioners for the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA), filed in 2013. In a decision rendered in 2014, the Supreme Court acknowledged transgender people as belonging to a third gender.
The planned film will shed light on Shreegauri Sawant’s meaningful life, including her formative years, transformation, and role in India’s groundbreaking transgender movement.
The biopic is created by Arjun Singh Baran and Kartik D Nishandar, directed by National award-winning director Ravi Jadhav, and produced by Arjun Singh Baran, Kartik D Nishandar and Afeefa Nadiadwala.
She will be next seen in Disney Plus Hotstar Aarya Season 3 which is currently in the pre-production stage.
