Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who attended a special screening of period action drama Samrat Prithviraj with his cabinet colleagues, on Thursday declared the movie tax-free in the state. The screening of the movie was held at Lok Bhawan here, and Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, female lead Manushi Chillar and director Chandra Prakash Dwivedi were in attendance. "I announce that the movie will be tax-free in the state," the chief minister said.
Yogi Adityanath, who was on a visit to Kanpur Dehat to oversee the preparations of the visits of President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, reached late for the screening.
Praising Samrat Prithviraj, he said, "The film talks about history and provides entertainment. It can be watched with the family.
We have learnt from mistakes of the past and are trying to rectify the mistakes of the past 75 years. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi is moving forward with the vision of the next 25 years to take India ahead." The priest-turned-politician also praised director Dwivedi and actors Akshay Kumar and Manushi for their performance, and said many places of the state have been shown in the film which will help in popularising them.
