Director Tanuja Chandra, writer Gazal Dhaliwal and Konkona Sensharma are set to host a special screening of their original short, A Monsoon Date, for influencers of the LGBT community, today. The development comes after several activists urged the makers for a screening of the film, which deals with homosexuality.

Gazal tells mid-day, "Stories emerging from the community are important because we hardly have enough in cinema. It is believed that about eight per cent of the human population belongs to this category. So, we must make as much noise about such stories as we do for other films."
