    Talking about how he decided to make the short film, Anish said, “Last year, I happened to read a report that the Kochi Metro had employed transgender persons and later read that some of them had left the job. I also understood that society has become more welcoming of the community and that change in the attitude of the general public gave me the spark to make this film”.
