Mumbai: The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has requested the Maharashtra government to grant tax exemption to Vicky Kaushal starrer Chhaava.
“Chaava depicts the incredible story of sacrifice, bravery, selflessness and sense of duty of the legendary Maratha Sambhaji. The movie is applauded by all age groups and the youth is greatly influenced by the story depicted in the movie,” India Today reported, quoting the FWICE’s statement.
“We appeal that the movie reaches a wider audience as the legacy and courage of this great Maratha king should be known to the generations to come. Our government strongly believes in ‘Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah,’ and this movie portrays the same sentiments through the life story of the great Maratha king Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.”
“FWICE has written to the Maharashtra Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis and appealed to him to grant tax exemption to the Hindi film ‘Chhaava.’ We strongly believe that the movie should reach people not only in Maharashtra but across the nation,” the statement added.
Chhaava has emerged as one of the year’s biggest hits so far. The film, directed by Laxman Utekar, also stars Akshaye Khanna and Rashmika Mandanna..
