“Dangal”, Aamir Khan’s latest release, has now been declared tax-free even in Madhya Pradesh. The movie was earlier made tax-free in Haryana. The sports drama’s success has prompted the State Government to announce it will set up an academy to promote wrestling. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today made the twin announcements.
After watching the sports biopic, based on the life of Haryana wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, with his wife Sadhna in a cinema hall here last night, Chouhan tweeted “MP Government has decided to give tax-free status to Aamir Khan’s wrestling based movie `Dangal’.
In another tweet, he said, “To promote wrestling an academy will be set up in Madhya Pradesh.” This is the fourth film to be declared tax-free in the State in recent times. Other movies to enjoy this status since August 2014 were “Jai Gangaajal”, “Neerja” and “Mardaani”.
“Dangal” seems to be reaching new heights and breaking all possible records and we couldn’t be happier about it!
