 "Shankar didn't try to offend transgenders: Ojas Rajani on 'I'")
Chennai: Filmmaker Shankar hasn’t tried to offend the transgender community in his Tamil magnum opus “I”, says popular makeup artist Ojas M. Rajani, who essayed an important role in the film. [caption id=“attachment_2058959” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Courtesy: Facebook[/caption] Shankar’s portrayal of Ojas, a transgender, in his film attracted the wrath of a group of transgenders who have demanded a “public apology” from the filmmaker after protesting in front of his residence Monday. “Shankar didn’t try to demean my character of a transgender. In fact, he shot it so aesthetically that it doesn’t offend anybody, including the transgender community. It’s just part of a story of the film and I requested everybody to not get offended,” Ojas said in a statement. In the film, Ojas lusts over actor Vikram. This had not gone down too well with many people. “I” also stars Amy Jackson and Upen Patel. IANS
