Taali teaser out

The teaser begins with Sushmita Sen putting on a red bindi which reflects her power. Sen then says 'Yeh kahani isi ki hai gaali se taali tak.' The frame then shifts to her struggle and fight against the system, which is not ready to recognise the third gender. Sen's character in the film looks fierce and the actor looks unrecognisable as Shree Gauri Sawant.

Who is Shreegauri Sawant?

Gauri Sawant was the first transgender to file a petition in the Supreme Court of India for the adoption rights of transgender people. Born as Ganesh in Pune, she became the goodwill ambassador of the Election Commission in Maharashtra and was the petitioner in the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) case. 

In 2008, she adopted a girl named Gayatri after her mother succumbed to AIDS. Gauri went on to feature in a Vicks ad that depicted her story and her adoption journey.
