→Trivia
- The film's director, Pallavi Roy, is also a trained classical dancer, which influenced the choreography of Sanwri's expressive scenes.
- UnWoman was shot entirely on location in rural Rajasthan to capture authentic village settings and local dialects.
- The actor playing Sanwri, a transgender character, is a cisgender male performer, which sparked discussions about casting choices in LGBTQ+ roles.
- The movie's title, UnWoman, directly challenges societal labels and refers to the dehumanizing treatment of transgender and intersex individuals.
- It was independently funded through a mix of crowd-sourcing and private investors, rather than major studio backing.
- The script includes real derogatory terms used in India to highlight the prejudice faced by the transgender community.
- Some scenes were improvised to reflect the actors' personal experiences with discrimination, adding raw emotional depth.
