Recently, the court directed the CBFC not to insist on obtaining a no-objection certificate (NOC) from Yogi Adityanath for the certification of the film <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/movies\/bollywood\/censor-board-denies-certification-to-film-based-on-yogi-adityanaths-life-makers-move-hc-ws-l-9475993.html\">Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">The bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Dr. Neela Gokhale observed that the CBFC\u2019s approach appeared obstructive, noting that the board was unnecessarily complicating the certification process and creating avoidable hurdles. \u201cThese are not reasons. This isn\u2019t as per the rules. Why don\u2019t you give them the grounds for rejection? By August 11, you tell them what the objectionable scenes and dialogues are,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The court instructed the committee to review the film thoroughly and issue specific recommendations to the makers by August 11, 2025. The filmmakers have also been asked to respond with their stance on the proposed modifications by August 12. Following this, the matter will be taken up for further hearing on August 14.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">The film Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi is inspired by the book The Monk Who Became Chief Minister, supposedly based on Adityanath\u2019s life. The film stars Anant Joshi in the lead. In June this year, the makers offered a fresh glimpse into the upcoming biographical drama and shared a striking poster on social media. \u201cJag chhoda, Bhagwa Odha, Seva mein ramm gaya. Ek Yogi \u2014 jo akela hi poora aandolan ban gaya! Yogi Ji Ke Janmotsav par prastut hai us kahaani ka aarambh. #AjeyTheUntoldStoryOfAYogi \u2013 1st August se cinema gharo\u1e45 mein,&#8221; they wrote.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Later, Anant Joshi also opened up about going bald for the movie when he told IANS, \u201cLosing it wasn\u2019t just a cosmetic change \u2014 it was letting go of a part of myself.&#8221; He shared that shaving his head was more than just a physical change, it was his way of truly stepping into the shoes of CM Yogi and embracing the character\u2019s spirit. \u201cBut this role demanded that sacrifice. I knew I couldn\u2019t fake it. I had to live it. I had to become Yogi, not just act like him,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><em>(With inputs from IANS)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-05-at-13.17.10-2025-08-d1b003764b221e1094919969068b8f2b-scaled.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/chirag-sehgal-21023.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Chirag Sehgal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chirag Sehgal works as a Senior Sub-Editor in the Entertainment team at News18.com.
