Bombay High Court Directs Makers of Yogi Adityanath Biopic to Approach CBFC Revising Committee

The Bombay High Court directed the makers of Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi, reportedly based on Yogi Adityanath’s life, to approach the CBFC Revising Committee after certification was denied.

The Court asked the CBFC to inform the filmmakers of objectionable scenes by August 11 and for the makers to convey their stance on changes by August 12.

The CBFC claimed the film contained potentially defamatory content. The Court criticised the Board for not specifying the objectionable scenes earlier, noting that a vague two-line rejection violated Section 4(2) of the Cinematograph Act.

The matter will be heard on August 14.
