    Haleem's real-life from birth to the present has been thwart with discrimination, prejudice, homophobia attacks and fear because of his desire to perform as a female dancer in the classical Indian dance called, Kuchipudi. Based upon this rare and outstanding talent, I managed to form a novel / screenplay utilising every emotion possible i.e., love, hate, anguish, fear, joyfulness and commonly, paternal rejection, which causes many upsets and family disruption.It will make people laugh, cry, feel deep anger and, for those who possess any form of homophobic thoughts, or prejudice against peace-loving Muslims; to look in the mirror and rethink. Because it matters not which sexual direction we are forced into by nature, which religion we believe in, or from which ethnic background we come from, we all remain human beings.This Active story, built around a real person, is an invaluable insight for those who prefer to discriminate before understanding and accepting that humans are just one huge melting-pot of diverse emotions, colours, beliefs, and sexual feelings.It will entertain the reader whilst giving the reader a sense of affinity to those who exist in such minorities. Who are bullied and terrorised for their diversities, are forced to hide their true identities, but still manage to put smiles on our faces, entertain us and prove to us through their art, how wrong we all are to discriminate against those who are different?
