Celebrity costume stylist Ojas Rajani, who played an important role in Vikram – Shankar’s I, has requested her transgender friends to drop protests and not to get offended. There have been continuous protests from transgender community outside Shankar’s residence for the past few days over the disparaging portrayal of their community in the film. They also demanded a public apology from Vikram and Shankar.
“Please do not react in an angry manner as Shankar sir has not tried to demean any character of mine. Infact, he has shot it aesthetically and in a beautiful manner. It’s just a story in a film of love where a character of mine falls in love and reacts in a certain way. We are not trying to offend the transgender friends. So, please I request u not to be offended. Infact, we must be proud and happy that the film has done well with such a great star cast and superb director. I’m out of India for a shoot. Do please put a stop to this anger and rejoice the success of the film,” says Ojas Rajani in an official statement.
