What's the story
Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, and is based on the life of Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, has been declared tax-free in Chhattisgarh.
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai made the announcement on Thursday. He said the movie is "not just a movie but also a tribute to our historical traditions, courage, and self-respect."
This followed Chhaava being declared tax-free in Goa and Madhya Pradesh.
Audience impact
Tax exemption to boost viewership, says CM
CM Sai said the tax exemption would result in lower ticket prices, allowing more people across the state to watch and draw inspiration from this historic film.
Chhaava depicts the exceptional courage, sacrifice, and strategic acumen of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
The film vividly portrays his unwavering commitment to the nation and his indomitable spirit.
The son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, he is known for his fierce resistance against the Mughals and other invaders.
Future plans
Chhattisgarh to continue supporting historical and patriotic films
The CM further emphasized that his government will continue to promote films that showcase historical, cultural, and patriotic themes. This initiative is aimed at keeping future generations connected with India's rich history.
Additionally, he highlighted his government's commitment to promoting films that inspire society and preserve cultural consciousness.
The tax-free status of Chhaava in Chhattisgarh is in line with this commitment and could set a precedent for similar decisions in the future.
