As an actor, I owe my sense of discipline & craft to Paresh Rawal: Shital Shah
Shital Shah; (below) With Paresh Rawal Shital Shah , who has directed Gujarati films like HuTuTuTu: Aavi Ramat Ni Rutu, Duniyadari and Saatam Aatham , was recently seen in the children's film Tomchi. The actress-filmmaker says, 'While the film was released only recently, it was shot about seven years back. I played a small role, but I felt glad because sadly, very few children's films are made in India. I've always had a soft corner for children's films and my first film as an actor (My Friend Ganesha) was a children's film too, which was loved by the audience.' 'Acting has always been my first love' Shital, who has done popular Hindi TV shows like Arjun and acted in Gujarati films like Saatam Aatham (which she directed too), is 'keen to get back to acting.' She says, 'Acting has always been my first love. For 12 years, I lived in Mumbai and did TV shows, Hindi films, two south films and even theatre. After My Friend Ganesha, I shot for quite a few Hindi films but somehow, very few of them were released. By the time I was really good at acting, I switched to making films (smiles). From 2014 to 2024, I was busy directing feature films, corporate films, films for the government and podcasts.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Shital, a single mom to two daughters (Serena, 6, and Sara, 2), adds, 'When you are making films, it's such a consuming process that it's difficult to find time for acting projects. Also, I was keen to spend quality time with my daughters and was not ready to travel. But now, I want to face the camera again. I am already in talks for a couple of web shows, and I want to do Gujarati films too. So far, I have only acted in Gujarati films that I directed too. Gujarati cinema is in a good space and there are some brave new filmmakers who are exploring different genres. I would love to work with them and act in good Gujarati films.' 'Like me, my daughters love to paint' Shital, who is a trained Kathak and Odissi dancer and also a painter, says that her daughters 'love to paint.' She shares, 'At home, we rarely watch TV. They are into books and love to paint. We have a studio and on weekends, all of us (including her sister Shaina) paint and it can go on for hours. I have enrolled Serena in an art class and both of them won gold medals in an art competition recently. To be able to delve into art with your kids is a blessing.' 'Feel lucky that I got to act on stage with Paresh Rawal' Shital, who acted in the play Shaadi@ with Paresh Rawal, shares, 'I consider myself lucky that I got to act on stage with him. I consider him as one of my mentors and I owe my sense of discipline and craft to Paresh bhai. I learnt a lot from him while doing this comedy, which is the toughest genre. We did more than 200 shows and theatre made me understand the grammar and discipline of acting.' She also recollects, 'I have been lucky to shoot at Dilip Kumar's house for a TV show that was produced by Saira Banu. So, I would meet them every day and Dilip Kumar had even told Dev Anand that I was a good actress, who met me a couple of times. I had even auditioned for one of his films. Unfortunately, the project never took off.'

HC pulls up CBFC for delay in certifying film on Yogi Adityanath
MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Thursday questioned the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) over its delay in certifying Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi, a film purportedly based on Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath's life. The court also took note of the fact that the film draws from a published book that has been in the public domain for years without incident. HC pulls up CBFC for delay in certifying film on Yogi Adityanath A division bench of justices Revati Mohite Dere and Dr Neela Gokhale was hearing a petition filed by the film's producers, Samrat Cinematics India Pvt Ltd, challenging the CBFC's refusal to certify the movie. The film is said to be inspired by Shantanu Gupta's 2017 biography of Adityanath, The Monk Who Became Chief Minister. The court issued a notice to the CBFC and directed it to respond by Friday. The petitioners told the court that they first applied for certification on June 5. Under the Cinematograph Act, 1952 and the Cinematograph (Certification) Rules, 2024, the board is required to process such applications within a week and schedule a screening within the next 15 days. However, more than a month had passed without any communication, they said. Calling the delay 'arbitrary, unreasonable, and unexplained,' the producers alleged that the CBFC had stalled the process deliberately, despite the film being slated for release on August 1 across over 1,500 cinema halls. They also said they reapplied under the board's 'priority scheme,' paying three times the usual fee, and were given a screening date of July 7—which was later cancelled without any explanation. The producers further alleged that the CBFC had asked them to procure a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Uttar Pradesh chief minister's office (CMO)—a demand they termed 'erroneous and extraneous,' citing no such requirement in the certification rules. 'It is a matter of record that the book which forms the foundation of the film has been officially endorsed by the CMO,' the petition said, adding that the film was a 'truthful, respectful, and inspiring portrayal' of a public figure. The court observed that the censor board could not sit indefinitely on an application, especially after charging priority fees. 'The application has to be decided. You cannot just sit on it,' the bench said. Notably, a similar petition had been disposed of on July 17, after the CBFC told the court that it would take a decision on certification within two days. The producers have now returned to court, alleging continued inaction and seeking relief ahead of the film's scheduled release.

Censor Board Denies Certification To Film Based On Yogi Adityanath's Life; Makers Move HC
The film Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi is inspired by the book The Monk Who Became Chief Minister, supposedly based on Adityanath's life. The makers of Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi have moved the Bombay High Court, challenging the Central Board of Film Certification's (CBFC) decision to deny it certification. Advocates Aseem Naphade, Satatya Anand and Nikhil Aradhe, representing filmmakers Samrat Cinematics, argued that the CBFC rejected the applications for certification of the film, trailer and its songs without even watching the movie. While the plea will be heard on Friday, August 1, by a bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Neela Gokhale, the court has also asked the CBFC the reason for rejecting the certification when the novel, which inspired the film, has been in the public domain for eight years. 'If no objection was taken to the book, how could a film inspired by it disturb public order?" the court asked, while issuing a notice to the CBFC and seeking its reply. The film Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi is inspired by the book The Monk Who Became Chief Minister, supposedly based on Adityanath's life. The film stars Anant Joshi in the lead. In June this year, the makers offered a fresh glimpse into the upcoming biographical drama and shared a striking poster on social media. 'Jag chhoda, Bhagwa Odha, Seva mein ramm gaya. Ek Yogi — jo akela hi poora aandolan ban gaya! Yogi Ji Ke Janmotsav par prastut hai us kahaani ka aarambh. #AjeyTheUntoldStoryOfAYogi – 1st August se cinema gharoṅ mein," they wrote. Later, Anant Joshi also opened up about going bald for the movie when he told IANS, 'Losing it wasn't just a cosmetic change — it was letting go of a part of myself." He shared that shaving his head was more than just a physical change, it was his way of truly stepping into the shoes of CM Yogi and embracing the character's spirit. 'But this role demanded that sacrifice. I knew I couldn't fake it. I had to live it. I had to become Yogi, not just act like him," he added.
