The Revelation About Shaving His Head

Actor Anant Joshi is portraying the role of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in his upcoming film, ‘Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi’. To fully embody the character, he shaved his head to resemble Yogi Adityanath.
Anant mentioned that this decision wasn’t easy, as he felt emotionally attached to his hair. He stated, “Removing my hair wasn’t just about changing my look; it was like letting go of a part of myself.”
Anant believes that to look and feel like Yogi Adityanath, he had to demonstrate complete dedication.

He further added, “I didn’t just have to act like him; I had to truly become Yogi.”
The film is directed by Ravindra Gautam and is based on Shantanu Gupta’s best-selling book, ‘The Monk Who Became Chief Minister’.
