Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh make 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' tax free

Maharashtra government has granted tax exemption to 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag', the Farhan Akhtar starrer biopic on the legendary athlete Milkha Singh.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan also announced on 21 July tax exemption in the state to 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.’ 

Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Farhan had earlier this week met Maharashtra Revenue Minister Balasaheb Thorat and sought tax concession for the film.
The tax exemption in Maharashtra will be valid for the next six months from today. It has been granted as the film's main objective was to promote sports among youths.
The government also took into account the fact that the film has been co-produced by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC).
Farhan plays the title role in the biopic featuring Sonam Kapoor, Divya Dutta, Prakash Raj and Pawan Malhotra.
Since its release on July 12, the film has grossed over Rs 57 crore.
