Tanhaji gets tax exemption in UP

The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttaar Pradesh has granted tax exemption to Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, a biographical period movie.
The film is produced by Ajay Devgan who also plays the title role of Subedar Tanhaji Malusare.
‘The film has been granted tax exemption in view of the story of the film that highlights the sacrifice and valour of Tanhaji and is an inspiration for the young generations,’ said the government spokesman.
He said that Ajay Devgan had requested the chief minister to grant tax exemption to the film.
However, Meghna Gulzar’s film on acid attack survivors Chhapaak, released simultaneously with Tanhaji, has not been given tax exemption despite requests from acid attack survivors.
Chhapaak has been granted tax exemption in Congress-ruled states including Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Puducherry. (IANS)
