Sushmita Sen has done it again with Taali. The actress has is back in action with OTT for a couple of years and she has been wowing the audience with her acting chops and how! Taali is the real life story of Shreegauri Sawant, a transgender social activist who was one of the key people in making transgender recognized as the third gender in India. BollywoodLife got a chance to talk to the creators of Taali, Arjun Singgh Baran and Kartk D Nishandar about Taali. They revealed to us the number of transgenders they hired for the upcoming new web series and it’ll shock the daylights outta you. There has been a lot of blabber about not casting a real transgender in the series, Taali but getting a known face such as Sushmita Sen in the titular role. But there’s one interesting behind-the-scenes story about Taali shared with us by the makers that will bowl you over and leave you in awe of the team. In a candid conversation with BollywoodLife, creators Arjun and Kartk shared that they employed about 2200 transgenders while shooting Taali. Yes, you read that right! That’s a huge number and such an incredible gesture by the makers. In fact, this could well be a record of all time. We actually did a double-take and asked the makers for confirmation about the number of trans people employed by them. They confirmed the number, 2,200. With that, the makers should have shut up the keyboard warriors and a few concerned individuals who questioned their casting of Sushmita Sen. Well, they have a very good reason for the same too. But we will get back to that another time. In conversation with us, we asked Arjun and Kartk about Sushmita’s heart attack and the shooting of Taali. They revealed that Sushmita had completed shooting for Taali but dubbing was remaining.
