New Delhi – A biopic based on the life of Aligarh Muslim University’s founder Sir Syed Ahmed Khan (1817-1898) launched on an International level on the OTT (OTT means an APP named ‘Over the Top’ which is used to see film, serial, and other programs) platform. But Doordarshan (Prasar Bharati) refused to broadcast it on OTT. Aligarh Muslim University’s Chancellor Naima Khatoon Khan recently launched the film ‘Sir Syed Ahmed Khan: The Messiah’
Producer and the biopic’s main protagonist Shoaib Chaudhary said, “A serial that I produced for DD ran for one the longest periods in DD’s history. Shockingly, my biopic on Sir Syed has failed to qualify for streaming on the national public broadcasting’s OTT platform. It seems DD has rejected my proposal to please its political masters.”
