Ashish Sharma to launch an LGBTQ anthem along with international release of his feature film Khejdi

Talented actor Ashish Sharma, who is a popular face in Indian television industry and has shows like Gunahon Ka Devta, Chandragupt Maurya, Rab Se Sohna Ishq, Rangrasiya, Siya Ke Ram and Prithvi Vallabh to his credit. Not just that, the actor recently featured as the titular role in web series Modi. Well, Ashish is on a roll these days and making some really applaudable career choices. His recent work is an intense feature film titled Khejdi, which is based on the struggles of a trangender. Ashish is apparently playing the transgender and the promos have left us speechless. 

Indian Supreme Court declared transgenders as the third sex back in 2014, but till date they are fighting for their rights, acceptance and dignity in the society. The film traces the journey of a transgender living in a small village aclled Khejdi, who struggles to figure her identity in society. 

The film is all set to have an international release in July and Ashish is all geared up for it. Well, the latest we hear is that along with the film’s release, Ashish will also launch an anthem for transgender community. The anthem is called ‘I Wanna Touch The Sky’, and is especially composed to be used as the official anthem for LIFT Foundation’s campaign with the same name. Written by popular Indian composer Sourabh Kalsi, it will be performed by singer Shilpa Surroch. The video stars Asia’s richest tras-lady Anne Jakrajutatip. 

Kudos to Ashish for making such bold career choices and supporting the cause!
