The film, Naanu Avanalla Avalu, is based on the life of transgender Living Smile Vidya


"In a move that would sow the seeds for positive changes in perceiving transgenders, the department of collegiate education has not only given its 'no-objection' but also recommended to city colleges that students be encouraged to watch a 2015 Kannada film that deals with sexual minorities."
