CBFC denies certification to film ‘based on’ Yogi Adityanath’s life; producers move HC

Advocates Aseem Naphade, Satatya Anand and Nikhil Aradhe, representing film-makers Samrat Cinematics, argued that the CBFC rejected the applications for certification of the film, trailer and its songs without even watching the film.The makers had approached the HC earlier this month, seeking a direction to the Censor board to decide on their applications.In response, the CBFC assured the court last week that it would take a decision within two days.Despite the assurance, the board took the decision only now, the makers claimed in their fresh plea.The film “Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi” is slated for release on August 1.It is inspired by the book “The Monk Who Became Chief Minister,” supposedly based on Adityanath’s life.
