The trailer of ‘Taali’, starring Sushmita Sen, has been unveiled. The upcoming web series highlights transgender activist Shreegauri Sawant's daring transformation, the journey towards motherhood, and the battle that led to the inclusion of the third gender in every document in India.

Sushmita is fierce as Shreegauri Sawant. Sharing the trailer, Sushmita Sen wrote, ‘Gauri aa gayi hai. Apne swabhimaan, sammaan aur swatantrata ki kahaani lekar. Taali - Bajayenge nahi, bajwayenge (Gauri is here to fight for her respect and independence. She will no clap byt make others clap for her) ! Taali on JioCinema, streaming free 15 August onwards.’

Several fans dropped fire and heart emojis in the comment section. A fan wrote, ‘You are fire and hats off to your guts for choosing a character out of the monotonous characters chosen by actresses.’ Another commented, ‘This is absolutely gorgeous!!!’

In a statement, Sushmita Sen talked about her portrayal of Shreegauri Sawant and said, ‘When I was first approached for Taali, in my mind it was an instant yes, however, I took six and a half months to come on-board officially. I knew I wanted to be absolutely prepared, well-read and researched to take up a critical and significant responsibility like this one. Shreegauri Sawant is an admirable human being, I connect with her on so many aspects, and I’m fortunate to have got the opportunity live through her incredible life, through this series. The road ahead to inclusivity is a long one, and I’m certain Taali is a force that will help spearhead this shift in the consciousness.’

‘Taali’ is all set to start streaming on JioCinema on August 15.
