The documentary features real-life transgenders and widows sharing their ordeal of dealing with society and the people at large. It reflects a dark reality. I wanted to be the medium through which they could broadcast their grievances. Hence, I decided to make this documentary.

Meera Chopra, who essayed the role of a widow Kaali in Safed said, "The World of Safed is just an effort to make them feel wanted, and giving them acceptance and legitimacy. The documentary being officially selected at the 14th Dadasaheb Phalke Film Festival makes me proud of being a part of this film.

Acknowledging the courage of the transgenders, actor Abhay Verma, who essayed the role of transgender Chaandi in safed, said, "The World of Safed is my answer to why I chose to do the film Safed. I hope the screening of our documentary at the 14th Dadasaheb Phalke Film Festival awakens our society, and their attitude towards transgenders and widows is changed.”
