Filmmaker Sudha Kongara says working on a short story for an anthology series was difficult, because she had to share a deep story with many emotions in just 30 minutes.
Kongara’s segment “Thangam” traces the story of 27-year-old Sathaar, a transgender who is secretly in love with his childhood best friend, Saravanan. It is an emotional journey of a transgender, with focus on the plight of transgenders and their place in society. The film stars Bhavani Sre, Kalidas Jayaram and Shanthnu Bhagyaraj.
“The story touched my heart and I wanted to share it with the world. I did a lot of research on the transgender community and met members to understand their emotions, desires, and their battles,” Sudha said.
