Sushmita will be seen depicting her life in this movie. In the first poster of ‘Taali’, she can be seen in the look of Gauri Sawant. She wore a red green saree with a big round maroon bindi on her forehead.

Gauri Sawant was seen on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 9 and was supported by Usha Uthup to raise money to build houses for sex workers.

Sushmita captioned the post, “Taali – बजाऊँगी नहीं, बजवाऊँगी ! (won’t clap, will ask others to clap). Nothing makes me prouder & more grateful than to have the privilege of portraying this beautiful person & of bringing her story to the world!!” by referring to Gauri Sawant.
