Mumbai, Feb. 26 :    Mumbai, Feb. 26:  Shabnam Mausi, the country's first eunuch MLA from Madhya Pradesh, is the latest role model for Bollywood. Mausi is having a Hindi film made on her life, much the same way Phoolan Devi and Bhanwari Devi had their lives featured on celluloid. 'We are nobody's children. We have no place in society. Society accepts a bandit or even a dog, but not us, eunuchs,' Mausi said, announcing the film on her life. The 'rejected' child of an IPS officer from Mumbai is back in the city, where Mausi said she belongs. She regards herself as the 'daughter' of parents who gave her away. In a clean break with his past roles as villain, actor Ashutosh Rana will play the lead role in the film, Shabnam Mausi. Rana said he accepted the role without even reading the script. 'I read so much about Mausi in newspapers, I did not need to read the script. She is not just a character, but a success story.' Mausi broke with the eunuch traditions of singing, dancing and begging on streets to run for the Assembly elections and 'change society'. 'I want to do my bit. Given the chance, we hijras can do a lot for the country instead of singing, dancing and begging. We, too, can be useful citizens to the country,' Mausi said. Rana said he was appalled that Indian society still looked down upon eunuchs. 'What do they lack? Why can't they lead a normal life like you and me? In any case, society has nothing to do with their sex.' The actor said eunuchs are as strong as men and should be hired by police and other security agencies. 'We can easily turn them into productive citizens. All you need to do that is a change in your outlook,' Rana Said. Yogesh Bhardwaj, an assistant of director J.P. Dutta of Border fame, is trying his hand at direction in Shabnam Mausi. He said the low-budget film will largely be shot in Madhya Pradesh, where the MLA is based. Shooting will begin on April 2. The film is expected to release at the end of this year. 'It's going to be a different film, something that will make people look up to eunuchs, not look down upon them,' Bhardwaj said. The film will trace Mausi's early childhood in Mumbai, leading up to her victory in the Assembly elections. 'We want to show her as she is, an extraordinary person. We don't want to delve into her life as a political leader,' Rana said. And for good reason. In her political life, Mausi is an ardent follower of Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, something that may not go down well with all viewers. 'Bal Thackeray has done a lot for Maharashtra. I respect and admire him a lot. I always refer to him at my political rallies,' Mausi said. Unlike Phoolan and Bhanwari, who had objected to the portrayal of their lives in films, Mausi said she had read the script and found nothing objectionable. 'The film is based on my life, which I would not curse even on my enemy. I always pray that no mother suffers the indignity of bearing a child like me, who has no parents, no brothers and no sisters,'' Mausi said, blinking back tears.
