'Bahubali' in Income Tax Trouble!?

A regional Telugu movie with parochial star casting is today going universal with bombarding collections. ‘Bahubali’ is pretty much publicized as a film made with massive 200 Crores budget and now when revenues are on par with the budget or exceedingly higher than those numbers, obviously it’s the subject of National importance. From bureaucrats to celebrities to politicians to top businessmen, everyone is talking about ‘Bahubali’ and its Box Office performance.

When such is the immense buzz around the magnum opus, the next big anxiety would be from Income Tax department officials. A business turnover of Rs.600+ Crores from one production house on one film would of course openly invite an Income Tax scrutiny into each and every payment transaction made. Noticeably ARKA Media is reported to have followed a transparent approach in filing the financial agreements yet a mandatory probe and review from IT sleuths is gossiped to be on a surprise offing very soon.

On the other hand, cannonading information provided by Ram Gopal Varma on social platforms (regarding remuneration of actors, technicians) is surely to exemplify the IT purview on the magnum opus. Although further information looks gloomy, a clear picture can be possible very soon. Well, cinema has always been a passionate field to attack for IT officers.
