He will be seen as a transgender in the title role of a film titled Kanchana which is directed by choreographer-turned-filmmaker, Raghavendra Lawrence.

Opposition to Trans Rights Bill
In the interests of objectivity, I am providing a link to a lifesitenews.com, which opposes the Canadian trans rights bill mentioned in a preceding post here. The group uses the old washroom argument, as in "it will lead to male cross-dressers and drag queens having the legal right to use female bathrooms . . . Jim Hughes, national president of Campaign Life Coalition, said that the bill “not only flies in the face of common sense, but is also potentially dangerous by creating the legitimized access that sexual predators often seek,” by opening the door to men using women’s bathrooms. “Imagine a young girl - your daughter or granddaughter - goes into a washroom and finds a man there. How is the young girl to determine whether or not the man in the bathroom is a ‘peeping tom,’ a rapist or a pedophile?”
