'Haddi' director says film serves as platform to voices of transgender community

Mumbai, Sep 9 (SocialNews.XYZ) Akshat Ajay Sharma, the director of the recently released film 'Haddi', has shared that the film is a statement of his team’s commitment for providing a platform to voices of the transgender community.

The film explores the dark and complex world of transgender individuals who become entangled in Delhi's criminal underworld. For the film, over 100 transgender individuals were roped in.

Haddi is not just a film, it's a statement of our commitment to celebrating diversity and providing a platform for voices that have long been marginalised."
