I worry about the box office success of films like this in Bollywood. Brilliantly and inspiringly played by that outstanding actor Manoj Bajpai, I’m told, and Rajkummar Rao who is a few films old but already has a National Best Actor Award at home.
The film ‘Aligarh’ is on the incident and delves on the conversations between Prof. But the university and police of Aligarh didn’t bother investigating it. Siras challenged his suspension in court and was reinstated because in the India then, which was as recent as 2009, consensual gay sex was not a crime. He was suspended by the Aligarh Muslim University where he was one of the leading lights for being gay. In the spirit of Gandhi’s being the change you want to see, National Award-winning director Hansal Mehta’s release tomorrow is ‘Aligarh’ – a Bollywood film based on the true life story of Prof.
