Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Declare Akshay Kumar's 'Samrat Prithviraj' Tax-Free In The State

Mumbai, June 2 - Akshay Kumar-fronted "Samrat Prithviraj" has been declared tax-free in Uttar Pradesh state by chief minister Yogi Adityanath. The movie, based on the life of Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, is scheduled to release on June 3rd.

The movie depicts India's rich heritage and shows the valor of Rajput warrior and king Prithviraj Chauhan of the Chauhan dynasty, who clashes with Muhammad Ghori, a ruler from the Ghurid Dynasty who led the Islamic Conquest of Hindustan.



The decision of declaring the movie tax-free in Uttar Pradesh will help the movie gain momentum as UP is a big market for Hindi movies. Reports also suggest that the other states are impressed with the film and if all goes well, it might be declared tax-free in other Indian states too, especially in BJP-ruled states.
