Although certain topics are considered a taboo in the industry even now, director David Atkins has shown courage and has helmed a film on transgenders called Queens! Destiny Of Dance, which got full support of actress Hema Malini, who came to launch the music of the film.
Queens!... that is slated to hit screens April 29, narrates the issues of transgenders in the country and the stigma attached to their lives.
The film has real life eunuchs, along with actors like Seema Biswas and Vineeth.
