Ankur Bhatia to portray a gay character in Sushmita Sen starrer Taali

After receiving critical acclamation for portraying the grey-shaded character in the two fantastic seasons of 'Aarya', Ankur Bhatia is all set to up his game with 'Taali'. While the actor's performance received immense appreciation from all his fans, his fresh and never-done-before character in Taali has quite raised their curiosity on what the actor has to offer in his next.

'Taali' is a social driven film primarily revolving around a transgender character and its attempt to shed focus on LGBT rights and create a tolerant society. Surprisingly, 'Taali' is going to be the second time for Ankur Bhatia and Sushmita Sen to share screen and create wonders again after 'Aarya'. Unwrapping the layers of his unique character, Ankur Bhatia recently opened up about his role in the film.

He said - 'Taali will remain the most astounding experience for me. I am playing Navin, a gay character in the film. I did quite a lot of research to understand the LGBT community, their emotions, and their perspective. Of course, I had to be conscious and attentive enough to play a character that would communicate the right message and won't come as offensive.

The director of the film, Ravi Jadhav sir wanted to keep a very delicate and thoughtful approach towards the whole film and it was with the same elements that we worked on it. Navin runs an NGO for LGBT rights and is a very soft character to play indeed.'

Ravi Jadhav-directed 'Taali' is set to start streaming on Voot in June. Ankur Bhatia will be also seen alongside actor Jimmy Sheirgill in Operation Mayfair and Bloody Daddy opposite Shahid Kapoor in the upcoming Ali Abbas Zafar directorial. With one after other surprises from the actor, the fans definitely have something to watch out for!
