Actor Farhan Akhtar and filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra had appealed to the Maharashtra state government on July 17 for tax exemption for their inspiring film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Maharashtra Revenue Minister Balasaheb Thorat promptly took action and granted a tax-free status to the film within the state. Mehra now hopes other states will do the same.
Akhtar tweeted the news today, saying, “Maharashtra Govt grants Bhaag Milkha Bhaag tax-free status.”
