"Everyone should watch this film, especially those who roam around carrying flags of morality," Anurag said at the screening of the film on Wednesday.
"Everyone's work is marvellous; this film is on a different level altogether. Manoj Bajpayee has reached an incredible level in this film; it is such a wonderful film", he added.
The Hansal Mehta-directorial 'Aligarh' is based on the life of an Indian linguist and author Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras, who was suspended from his job because of his sexual orientation.
Manoj plays the role of Siras, and Rajkummar Rao plays a journalist, who shows interest in the case and the feelings of Siras.
Anurag lavished praise on his 'Gangs Of Wasseypur' actor, saying: "It is the best performance of Manoj Bajpayee ever, I am still reeling due to his performance, I can't talk enough about it."
After the debacle of 'Bombay Velvet', Anurag has wrapped up the shooting of his next - Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer 'Raman Raghav 2.0', also starring Vicky Kaushal.
