Overview

• Director Ravindra Gautam says the CBFC sought 29 cuts that were overturned, with the film cleared without edits.
• The film portrays an emotional, spiritual family journey and the director rejects labels that it is propaganda.
• Anant Joshi leads as Yogi Adityanath, with Paresh Rawal and Dinesh Lal Yadav in key roles, in a story inspired by Shantanu Gupta’s book.
• Gautam highlights authenticity through live-location shoots in Rishikesh and a Dharamshala, where the team adopted a devotional routine and voluntarily avoided non-vegetarian food.
