Karpaga was born in a middle class family of Erode in western Tamil Nadu, an only child, and left home at 17 for Mumbai. Karpaga worked at a beauty parlour as a beautician after finishing schooling. After returning to her family, five years later, her family was shattered but eventually accepted her.
Historically, transsexuals have been shown in poor light in Indian movies. Karpaga acts as an intellectual woman who has difficulty in revealing her identity to her lover.
The film stresses on the need for families to accept transsexuals.
