Sushmita Sen, who will play transgender campaigner Gauri Sawant in the online series 'Taali,' required 6 months to complete the project yet memorized every dialogue. Gauri Sawant's public interest litigation (PIL) resulted in a momentous Supreme Court decision in 2014, recognizing the transgender population as the third gender.
Arjun Singgh Baran and Kartk D. Nishandar, the creative team of 'Taali,' claimed that the actor had done her studies thoroughly.
The creative team recalled Sushmita's enthusiasm for Gauri's existence. They said: “She took around six months to say okay to the script and she knew it by heart. So in tune with the script she was by then that during the shoot, if we added or changed a line, she would tell us instantly that it wasn’t there originally. She does her homework very well.”
Sushmita, according to the couple, read the script at least four or five times and essentially lived with the role until she became one with it. “Acting coach Atul Mongia helped her to finetune the transformation and director Ravi Jadav guided her to get the nuances of the Marathi diction right. She also worked very hard on her voice modulation. She put her heart and soul into ‘Taali’ and today we cannot imagine anyone else playing Gauri other than her.”
