Rekha wants to model. She even lands herself a project as an Indian bride with a photographer, but the photographer’s wife is reluctant given Rekha’s background. Rekha is an urban trans girl.

JLT Films presents ‘Project Indian Bride’, a 30-minute film that narrates Rekha’s story. A story that breaks the barriers and myths associated with transgender people in India. Here is an urban transgender girl, who like anybody else has a 9 to 5 job, loves hanging with her friends, and is a struggling model on the side. The film tells two parallel stories, one from Rekha’s point of view and the other from that of the photographer’s wife during the project.

JLT’s Project Indian Bride is directed by Mujeer Pasha and produced by Harini Daddala. The complete movie is available on JLTplex.com. Watch the teaser here.
