Yogi Adityanath (ANI)
Biopics are on the rise in Bollywood, and a new one is set to capture audiences' attention. Anant Joshi, known for his role in "12th Fail," will take the lead in a biopic about Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
The upcoming biopic, directed by Ravindra Gautam—who previously directed the acclaimed series "Maharani"—will focus on the formative years of Yogi Adityanath, originally named Ajay Singh Bisht. The film will explore how he transitioned from a young boy in Uttarakhand to one of the Bharatiya Janata Party's most significant leaders. An insider shared, "The movie delves deep into Yogi Adityanath’s early years, his spiritual awakening at the Gorakhnath Math, and his eventual rise in politics. Anant’s portrayal captures the inner conflict and drive of a young man seeking purpose."
In addition to Anant Joshi, veteran actor Paresh Rawal has been cast as Avaidyanath, Yogi Adityanath’s spiritual mentor whose teachings played a crucial role in shaping his life. The biopic commenced filming last November and has been shot extensively across Uttar Pradesh, particularly in Gorakhpur, which is central to Adityanath’s spiritual and political journey.
As the film progresses, Yogi Adityanath continues to receive accolades for his leadership during the Maha Kumbh 2025. As of January 20, over 80 million pilgrims have visited the Sangam Triveni for ritual dips. Additionally, more than one million Kalpvasis have participated in this spiritual retreat. On a notable day, over 2.2 million pilgrims attended the Mela by 8 am.
On Sunday, an unfortunate incident occurred when three cooking gas cylinders exploded at the Maha Kumbh site; however, there were no reported casualties. Yogi Adityanath promptly visited the scene to assess the situation and communicate with officials and firefighting teams.
