The trailer launch was launched by five transwomen namely Renju Renjimar, make-up artist, Zara Sheikh, IT professional, Thripthy Shetty, entrepreneur, Sheethal Shyam, social activist and Riya, legal advisor, all of whom are Malayalis.

However, this is for the first time that a full-fledged film revolves around the plot. Needless to say, the fans are going gaga over the trailer and it won’t be wrong if we say that all that buzz around the film is absolutely justified.
