Shehzad Poonawalla attends 'Ajey: The Untold Story' screening, praises Yogi Adityanath's journey

BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla lauds Yogi Adityanath's transformation of Uttar Pradesh after attending the special screening of the biopic 'Ajey'.

"In the last 7-8 years, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has transformed Uttar Pradesh from a 'bimaru' state to an exemplary state - Shehzad Poonawalla"

New Delhi, September 25

A special screening of the film 'Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi' was held in Delhi on Thursday evening.

The film is a biographical drama based on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, inspired by the biography The Monk Who Became Chief Minister by Shantanu Gupta.

BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla, who attended the special screening, shared his thoughts on the story.

Speaking about how it portrays the journey of Yogi Adityanath, he said, "This story is about how a person first becomes a 'yogi' and then becomes an important figure for the state."

"In the last 7-8 years, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has transformed Uttar Pradesh from a 'bimaru' state to an exemplary state under the guidance of Prime Minister Modi. This reflects his character," Poonawalla told ANI.

Directed by Ravindra Gautam and produced by Ritu Mengi, the film stars Anant Joshi in the lead role, alongside Dinesh Lal Yadav, Ajay Mengi, Pawan Malhotra, Rajesh Khattar, Garima Vikrant Singh, and Sarwar Ahuja in pivotal roles.

Veteran actor Paresh Rawal earlier spoke about his experience of working in the film. "I had read Shantanu Gupta's book and found it very engaging. So, when I heard that a film was being made based on it, I immediately showed interest. And most importantly, I felt that Ajay bhai is making this film with absolutely no ulterior motive. He isn't seeking an election ticket, government contracts, or land. He is creating this film purely out of love and respect for Yogi ji, and I truly admire that," Paresh Rawal told ANI.

Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi was released in theatres on September 19.

Interesting to see a film about a sitting CM. Hope it shows both achievements and challenges objectively. Paresh Rawal's involvement gives it credibility.

UP has definitely seen development under Yogi ji's leadership. The infrastructure improvements are visible. But films about politicians should be careful not to become propaganda.

As someone who visited UP recently, I can see the positive changes. The roads are better and cities cleaner. Will check out this film to understand the leader behind these changes.

While development is good, I hope the film also addresses the concerns of minority communities. A balanced portrayal would be more credible. 🤔
