HC clears Yogi Adityanath biopic for release, raps CBFC for refusing certificate

Overview

  • Justices Revati Mohite-Dere and Neela Gokhale watched Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi in court and set aside the CBFC’s refusal to certify it.
  • The bench said it found no obscenity or defamatory content and concluded that nothing in the film required re-editing.
  • The court accepted a brief disclaimer stating the film is a creative work inspired by real events, with a suggestion to add the phrase “creative freedom.”
  • The CBFC had flagged 29 issues, later reduced some, and was criticized for procedural lapses and for insisting on a legally unsupported no‑objection certificate.
  • The film, produced by Samrat Cinematics and inspired by Shantanu Gupta’s biography, stars Anant Joshi, and the makers will announce a new release date.
