The case of the man who had been a local hero but found himself shunned and criminalised because of his illness became a cause celebre in India, ending with his death in a Bombay hospital in 1992. The making of &quot;My Brother... Nikhil&quot;, his directorial debut, opened Onir's eyes to the many difficulties of bringing taboo subjects to the screen in socially conservative India. The feature was named best Hindi film at India's 2012 National Film Awards, the country's equivalent of the Oscars.</p><br clear="all"/>
