While we know the science of it all, truly understanding its implications is the real challenge,' says Pradeep. Geetha adds, 'Women are undefeatable. Be it as a scientist or an athlete, women are excelling in every field. Films offer a powerful medium to educate the audience and impart important messages, which is what we aim to achieve with Tayavva.
