'Ranchi Diaries' team meets Jharkhand CM

Actor Anupam Kher along with the team of his forthcoming production venture "Ranchi Diaries" on Tuesday met Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das here.

The team -- including actors Himansh Kohli and Soundarya Sharma and writer-director Sattwik Mohanty -- met Das to thank him for the support that the government extended to the film.

"In the last couple of years, the Jharkhand government has been very forthcoming and supportive of the films that are being made to spread awareness about the cultural heritage and tourism of the state," Anupam said in a statement.

"We are very fortunate to have been given this (support) by the CM. It was a pleasure meeting him today (Tuesday). He also said that they are trying to make the film tax free since the whole film is shot here," he added.

"Ranchi Diaries" follows the story of "Gudiya", played by debutante Soundarya and her friends, Taaha Shah and Himansh , who are out to make it big in a small town (Ranchi). It is Anupam's first production.

The film is releasing on October 13.
