The
Madhya Pradesh
government on Thursday decided to accord tax-free status to the upcoming film 'Samrat Prithviraj'. In tweet during the day, Chief Minister
Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, "The film on the life of great warrior
Samrat Prithviraj
in which
Akshay Kumar is in the lead role is declared tax free in Madhya Pradesh so that maximum number of youths see the movie and learn about him and a feeling of love inculcate in them towards their motherland."
Yesterday Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who attended a special screening of period action drama 'Samrat Prithviraj' with his cabinet colleagues, had declared the movie tax-free in the state. The screening of the movie was held at Lok Bhawan, and Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, female lead
Manushi Chhillar and director Chandra Prakash Dwivedi were in attendance. "I announce that the movie will be tax-free in the state," the chief minister said.
Speaking about the film, Akshay Kumar says, “Samrat Prithviraj is a very important film in my career. It is my legacy project because I’m getting to honour the legendary Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan. I’m fortunate that I’m getting to bring his heroism and life on screen. I hope this film inspires many to lead their life with strong values and get the courage to stand up against any and every evil. Samrat Prithviraj, to me, is a rare project.”
