Here's an awesome news for the Bajrangi Bhaijaan' team. The film has been declared tax-free in Uttar Pradesh.
Starring Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and child artiste Harshaali Malhotra, Bajrangi Bhaijaan' tells the story of a Hanuman devotee who takes a lost Pakistani girl under his care and goes across the border to reunite her with her family.
It's a film with a very noble message of peace and friendship between the two countries.
Kabir Khan, the director of the Bajrangi Bhaijaan' met the UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav earlier in the day after which it was decided to make the film tax free, an official spokesman said.
The move is being seen as not just an initiative to promote good cinema, but also encourage the culture of film shoots and film-making in UP.
Earlier, the UP government had even declared PK' tax free in the state.
It is being said that 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' could be made tax-free in other Indian states as well.
A tax-free status makes the tickets cheaper and a lot of people can then watch it.
