Sushmita Sen plays the protagonist. The teaser of the show has left the audience mighty impressed. The series appears engaging and impactful with its every scene. Ahead of the release, we got in touch with the director of the show Ravi Jadhav who spoke at length about Sushmita Sen playing the lead role.

While talking about the thunderous response received by Taali teaser, Ravi Jadhav said, "I was not expecting so much love. One thing I know is that we have honestly worked on the subject. When we read about Gauri Sawant, read about her struggle, her fight, we knew since day one that we are going to surrender to the subject. In terms of writing, performance and everything. I feel that people have responded really well to this honesty. People are feeling that 'yeh apne ghar ki story hai' and I am very happy that people are accepting it."

Talking about Sushmita Sen's casting as Gauri Sawant, Ravi Jadhav mentioned that it had already happened when he came onboard the project. He said, "So when I joined this project, the first challenge was that how can I add more to it cinematically. The second challenge was that I had never worked with Sushmita Sen. I had heard that people in Bollywood come late and all. So I did not know how the experience would be. But when I met her for the first time, I got very positive vibes and I was sure that something good is going to happen."

Ravi Jadhav was also asked why Sushmita Sen fit perfectly for the role, instead of a real trans actor, he said, "When I joined, Sushmita Sen's casting had already done. But after that for various roles, we did audition many transgenders. I can answer this in two ways. It was Gauri Sawant's wish that Sushmita plays her role. He always wanted to be a beautiful girl since childhood. So it was her wish that someone should be cast who is as beautiful as Sushmita Sen. Secondly, if you want a subject to reach the audience, you need somebody who can help you do that. That is very important. Sushmita Sen has the power to do so. She is vocal about various issues. In fact, it was very difficult for Sushmita Sen to play the role. Before this, if noticed, 99 percent of times, males are cast in transgender roles. It is rather challenging for Sushmita to accept it. And if you see the series, you would see so many real people, real transgenders playing various roles. We have all become friends now. I remember, there was a scene where they were not happy with Sushmita Sen and saying 'yeh Gauri Ma jaisi nahi lag rahi'. But when the scene started, they all became very happy saying that she is exactly like Gauri Ma. They also started going inputs. It was very interesting."
