The biopic on Aligarh

Muslim University (AMU) founder Sir Syed Ahmed Khan has been released

internationally on OTT platforms, but at National platform Doordarshan has

flatly refused to stream it on Prasar Bharati's OTT due to not profitable

project. The film ‘Sir Syed Ahmed Khan: The Messiah’ has been released

recently. This biopic has been made on the life of Sir Syed Khan. The film

producer accuses that it seems that my proposal has been canceled to please the

political masters.

Prasar Bharati OTT found that

this project could not be eligible to broadcast/stream under Revenue Sharing

Mode (RSM) on the upcoming platform. PB's program executive has given this

information in his letter to Mumbai-based production house Dark Horse

Productions. He said that I am directed to inform you that your proposal to

offer a program based on Sir Syed Ahmed Khan has not been accepted.
