The name of the film is 'Paal' and is directed by D. Sivakumar. The movie's mission is to show facts of life keeping in mind that every single individual has a right to peaceful life immaterial of gender – male, female or transsexual.

Most of Indian Cinema has always depicted transsexuals in a rather shabby vein in order to tickle the funny bone of 'insensitive' people. Barring a few short films and documentaries, the lives and emotions of transsexuals have always been underplayed and even exploited. This is where director D. Sivakumar steps in. His film 'Paal', meaning 'gender' in Tamil would explore the hitherto unexplored terrain of the lives of transsexuals in mainstream commercial Tamil cinema for the very first time.
