Talking about the project, Krishna says, &ldquo;There have been many documentaries on the same subject but they have been really gritty. Ours, on the other hand, will look at their lives in a positive light.&rsquo;&rsquo;
Reshel, who is the director of the film, adds, &ldquo;Ours film views them not as hijras but as women. This film is based on our friendship with them; we spent 30 days tracing their lives so we are no longer strangers. Over this period of time, we had a number of events lined up such as a CV writing class, a calendar shoot for the organisation they work for, re-designing their offices and a fashion show where they modelled their own creations. We got to know these hijras and understand them as we listened to their hardships. It&rsquo;s a film that shows them in a positive light.&rsquo;&rsquo;
Krishna reveals that they plan to take the documentary to various film festivals. &ldquo;Post that, we will look at releasing it in cinema halls in India. In any case, we have a long way to go and all this may happen only in 2015,&rdquo; she says.
However, she intends to take up direction soon. She says, &ldquo;I will first assist a big filmmaker and then I will direct a film independently.&rsquo;&rsquo;
