The director of the web series "The 'Other' Love Story", Roopa Rao, wants to break the notion of homosexuality as a taboo subject.

The web series, which released on August 27, captures the romance and affection between two women.

Fashion and lifestyle social network Roposo has partnered with Just Like That (JLT) Films for "The 'Other' Love Story".

"It is high time we broke the notion of homosexuality being a taboo subject in India. There is a dire need to understand that homosexual love is completely natural and beautiful. We believe that our association with Roposo will create the necessary light and awareness for the series, and attract a wider audience," Roopa Rao said in a statement.

Set in the 1990s, "The 'Other' Love Story" will mark Rao's independent direction after having co-directed a number of feature and short films, read a statement.

Along with JLT Films, the star cast of the weekly web series will also post stories on the website of Roposo to promote it among their followers.
