Watch: Manoj Bajpayee will leave you stunned in intense 'Aligarh' trailer

Mumbai: Nearly two years after the release of the critically acclaimed 'Citylights', Hansal Mehta is back with his latest directorial venture 'Aligarh'.

The film is based on the real life story of professor Dr Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras, essayed by Manoj Bajpayee. He was suspended from his job after being caught in a sting operation while embracing a rickshaw-puller and was found dead under suspicious circumstances after successfully appealing his suspension.

At the trailer launch, Manoj said, “The biggest challenge was, to capture the loneliness in the man’s eyes and portray that. That was difficult. To show loneliness in the body, on your face, that was most difficult thing to do.”

'Aligarh' has already floored audiences at various film festivals. Hence, it will be interesting to see how the film fares at the Box Office. The film which also stars Rajkummar Rao is all set to release on February 26 this year.
