Season's Greetings
Failing to rope in a top star for his film, a tribute to the late filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh, Ram Kamal Mukherjee decided to cast a real-life transgender to play one in Season's Greetings.
"It was difficult to cast either a male or a female actor from Bollywood or the Bengali film industry to play a transgender in the film. Most actors have inhibitions in portraying a role that's not gender specific. Eventually, we had to cast real-life transgender Shree Ghatak as Chapala. I wanted someone who would believe in the character, and play it with great poise."
