The much-awaited trailer for Sushmita Sen's Taali was released on 7 August. The series is based on the real life of trans activist Shreegauri Sawant and portrays her relentless struggle for third-gender rights.
The trailer features Sushmita Sen as Ganesh, a young boy who is humiliated by his classmates when he expresses his desire to be a mother. Ganesh's struggle to establish himself in society leads to his transformation into a fierce and powerful Shreegauri Sawant.
Sharing the official trailer with her fans, Sushmita wrote, "Gauri aa gayi hai. Apne swabhimaan, sammaan aur swatantrata ki kahaani lekar. #Taali - Bajayenge nahi, bajwayenge! (Gauri has arrived with the story of her pride, self-respect and freedom!)"
