Ansari is known for their short silent film Sisak, a queer love story that won 59 international awards at various film festivals. Their latest film, Sheer Qorma stars Swara Bhaskar, Divya Dutt and Shabana Azmi and revolves around the relationship between a queer woman and a nonbinary person.
They describe Sheer Qorma as a film that is lovely and heartwarming but is also deeply political and social film. While it is packaged as a heartwarming film about acceptance and love, a mother and their child, and about two queer people, there are also additional layers that will only be discovered after watching the film.
