Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has made a public appeal to filmmakers, urging them to produce content that can inspire society, rather than glorify negative characters. His remarks came during a cultural event in Varanasi, centered on the life of Emperor Vikramaditya.

During his address at the grand theatrical presentation on Chakravarti Samrat Vikramaditya, CM Adityanath expressed concern over the portrayal of villains as heroes, which he argues has led to a moral decline in society. 'Generations were getting spoiled,' he noted, emphasizing the need for cinema to focus on portraying noble characters.

Adityanath, alongside Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, underscored the potential positive impact of cinema when it mirrors the country's ideals. The Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh governments aim to enhance their cultural collaboration, building on the historical legacy of Vikramaditya.
