Will film on Yogi Adityanath get central board's nod? Decision on 'Ajey' in 2 days
Before this assurance, advocates Ravi Kadam, Satatya Anand and Nikhil Aradhe appearing for the filmmaker noted that, "We had applied under a priority process. The charges for priority are three times more than the normal charges. Within 5 days they had to take a decision. I am suffering every day. The international release of my film is on August 1."The bench also noted that the question is whether the CBFC can ask for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) while noting that the CBFC has the prerogative to grant or not grant the certificate, but it cannot sit on it.However, after Khandeparkar's submissions, the bench disposed of the petition.The makers stated that the film is inspired by the book The Monk Who Became Chief Minister, authored by Shantanu Gupta, which is based on the life and public leadership of a contemporary political figure, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.The filmmakers claimed that the CBFC had demanded a NOC from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) of Uttar Pradesh. They said this was an 'erroneous, extraneous, and baseless demand, despite there being no such requirement under the statute, that is, the Cinematograph Act or the rules framed thereunder.'- EndsTune InMust Watch

Do This Every Morning Wellnee Undo On Friday, a Supreme Court bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi said the filmmakers appeal against the high court order staying the release was infructuous as they accepted the July 21 order of the Centre clearing the release of the film subject to six cuts in its scenes and modifications in the disclaimer. The bench further had said it has not expressed any opinion on merit and the high court can adjudicate the issue of stay of release of film. Live Events It also directed Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind president Maulana Arshad Madani and Mohd Javed, who is an accused in the Kanhaiya Lal murder case, to move the high court against the Centre's decision. The Delhi High Court had stayed the film's release on a Madani's plea on July 10, invoking powers of the Central Government under Section 6 of the Cinematograph Act, 1952, till the representation is decided by the Central Government, for which the high court granted one week time. The filmmakers claimed to have received a Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) certificate with the board suggesting 55 cuts and the film was due to be released on July 11.

Up to three years jail term for those involved in film piracy: Government
New Delhi, Jul 27 (PTI) In a bid to curb digital piracy, the government has amended laws to include jail term and strict fines of up to five per cent of the production cost for those involved in illegal recording and transmission of films. The gove rnment brought in these changes to the Cinematograph Act two years ago to strengthen the provisions against film piracy. 'The amendments include strict punishment of a minimum three months imprisonment and fine of Rs three lakh, which can be extended up to three years imprisonment and fine up to five per cent of the audited gross production cost," Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting L Murugan told Parliament last week. He said Section 6AA and 6AB of the Cinematograph Act prohibit unauthorised recording and transmission of films. 'Newly added Section 7(1B)(ii) of the Cinematograph Act empowers the Government to issue necessary directions to intermediaries for hosting pirated content," Murugan said. He said the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Central Board of Film Certification have been empowered to receive complaints from copyright holders or authorised persons, and issue necessary directions to intermediaries hosting such content. According to The Rob Report by EY and the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), the Indian entertainment industry faced a loss of Rs 22,400 crore in 2023, primarily due to piracy.

Yuzvendra Chahal Gets Grand Birthday Surprise In London, Netizens Say, ‘Planned By RJ Mahvash'
Yuzvendra Chahal got an emotional birthday surprise in London with a flash mob. Fans believe RJ Mahvash planned it, hinting at their growing closeness. Yuzvendra Chahal is currently on a trip to London, and on July 23, he turned 35 years old. This birthday, the ace cricketer turned a year older and got a surprise he couldn't believe. Chahal received a flash mob-style surprise where a group of people performed a special dance number for him, leaving him all emotional. Chahal couldn't believe his eyes as he received the biggest surprise of his life. While sharing the video, Yuzi wrote, 'Hum ladko ki kabhi kabhi puri life bhi nikal jaati hai bina birthday celebrate kare 😂 This is my first birthday surprise in 3 decades and probably the craziest! And the world was spinning when all of this was happening! Numb. Grateful. Overwhelmed. Hope we all get friends who make such efforts to make us smile 🥹 Meanwhile I am still trying to digest this fact that this HAPPENED IN REAL." As soon as Yuzi dropped the video, fans started reacting to it. One wrote, 'This is the sign. You got a perfect person in life @ 'Planned by RJ Mahvash," another one wrote. A third fan shared, 'Gosh 🫠 Yuzi my bro… God bless you meri jaan… This is beautiful… Good things happen to good people." 'RJ Mahvash behind the lens," a comment read. Another fan wrote, '@ only you can do it!!!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Yuzvendra Chahal (@yuzi_chahal23) Rumours about their relationship began circulating around the time Chahal's marriage to choreographer Dhanashree Verma ended in March 2025. Since then, Mahvash has frequently been seen by Chahal's side, including during this London stint. Interestingly, Chahal appeared to drop a major hint about his relationship status during a recent episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix. While sharing the couch with Rishabh Pant and Gautam Gambhir, he was asked by Kiku Sharda about the girl everyone's been talking about. With a smirk, Chahal responded, 'India jaan chuka hai, 4 mahine pehle," — a line that fans took as a not-so-subtle confirmation that Mahvash is indeed the one. Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma officially ended their marriage in March 2025, after filing for divorce by mutual consent in a Mumbai court. The two had reportedly been living separately since mid-2022, and while initial court proceedings delayed the process, the Bombay High Court granted an early divorce just before the 2025 IPL season.
