Eros Now shared the trailer for their upcoming movie, Aligarh, that stars Manoj Bajpai in the lead as a gay professor and Rajkummar Rao as a journalist. Hansal Mehta’s Aligarh is based on a true story in which Dr Srinivas Ramchandra Siras, a professor who taught Marathi at Aligarh Muslim University was suspended from his position of Reader and Chair of Modern Indian Languages because he was homosexual.
The trailer is as powerful as the subject of the movie and has already got the ‘Adult’ certificate just because homosexuality is considerd a taboo in our country! Hansal Mehta, the director of the movie, was furious about the decision taken by the censor board and so were these people who didn’t hold back in saying what they had to say! Hasn’t it reached a stage where we need to move on and embrace these sensitive matters with an open mind?
