Aligarh entails a social cause

Actor Rajkummar Rao, who will be seen in a key role in Hansal Mehta’s forthcoming film ‘Aligarh’, says the film does not have an “out-of-the-box” story to tell, but it entails a social cause.“It’s not a different story, but has a message of a social cause in it. It is a human drama with an emotional element,” the actor said on Tuesday at the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Awards.

“It is not an ‘out-of-the box’ story but it is a beautiful story and I feel lucky to be a part of it,” he added.‘Aligarh’ is reportedly based on the real life incident of Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras, a doctor who was terminated from his job because of his sexuality.
