In 2010, an Aligarh Muslim University professor, on the verge of retirement, was suspended after he was filmed on spy-cam having consensual sex with a rickshaw-puller in his apartment inside the campus.

The video was later sent to the university authorities who suspended the 64-year-old Dr Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras, reader and chairman of Modern Indian Languages at AMU, under Statute 40(3)(c) of the University Statutes. He was also ordered to vacate the house allotted to him by the university. Less than two months after he was suspended and hounded out of the campus, Siras was found dead in mysterious circumstances at his rented single-room accommodation in Aligarh's Durga Wadi neighbourhood.

After depicting the life and tragic end of human rights activist Shahid Azmi on screen, National Award winning director Hansal Mehta has taken up Dr Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras's story for his upcoming biopic.


The film is as yet untitled. he lead cast is yet to be finalised and other modalities too are being worked upon. But according to a close close to the filmmaker, "Hansal is working on this subject as well as the Saaransh remake. Most probably, the Saaransh remake will go on floors first."
