National award winning director Hansal Mehta has wooed worldwide film lovers with his sensitive film Aligarh. The trailer strikes an emotional chord with audience. Portraying the character of the emotionally vulnerable professor who faces severe criticism, Manoj Bajpayee is back with yet another wonderful performance whereas “Kai Po Che” actor Rajkummar Rao plays a journalist who unravels his real world.

Recalling the “Aligarh” journey so far, Mehta said, “Film is a powerful medium & the story of “Aligarh” needs to be told”.

The movie “Aligarh” was screened in the Busan International Film Festival 2015 and it also careened at the very prestigious BFI London Film Festival in the previous year.

The teaser for Hansal Mehta’s film Aligarh can now be shown attached to only adult films in theatres and during restricted hours on television. Now, we really can’t wait to watch the film.

Regarding playing role of a homosexual man Manoj Bajpayee stated to media that, “We wanted to make a great film out of it. And for a second thought that we are making a film on homosexuality”.
