Amid its success The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has requested Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to declare Vicky Kaushal's latest film, CHHAAVA, tax-free in the state.
In a recent note, FWICE stated, "Chhaava 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."
"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'. This movie portrays exactly the same sentiments through the life story of the great Maratha King 'Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj'. FWICE has written to Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadanvis and appealed to him to grant tax exemption status to the Hindi film 'Chaava'. We strongly believe that the movie should reach out to people not only in Maharashtra but across the nation," read FWICE's official statement.
