The ban by Qatar and Saudi Arabia is believed to be linked to the film’s deep spiritual themes rooted in Indian culture. However, the decision has not dampened the makers’ spirits. On the contrary, the team sees this as a reminder of the power of storytelling that transcends borders.
Directed by Ravindra Gautam, the film features Anantvijay Joshi in the lead role, with appearances by Paresh Rawal, Dinesh Lal Yadav ‘Nirahua’, Garima Vikrant Singh, Ajay Mengi, and Pawan Malhotra. With music and visuals designed to resonate with audiences on an emotional and spiritual level, Ajey has been described as more than a film — a movement celebrating India’s heritage of wisdom.
