This one-of-a-kind case was only a short part of Pinki's life, yet it had a profound influence. Pinki's journey, according to writer Priyanka Ghatak, does not end with gender determination and identity. It's a far broader problem that hasn't been addressed in mainstream cinema.

Sports biopics, such as "Dangal" and "Mary Kom," have received critical acclaim in the past. Now, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit is working on a Pinki Pramanik biography. She was a female track and field athlete who represented India in various prestigious international competitions, winning gold and silver medals.
