Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna's historical entertainer Gauthamiputra Satakarni was given tax exemption by AP and Telangana governments then. However, AP government was criticized for turning down the request of Rudhramadevi makers to get the entertainment tax exempted and to give nod for GPSK. to get the tax exempted.
If the inside buzz is anything to go by, Balakrishna's forthcoming film NTR will also be exempted from tax. Especially, AP CM CBN is said to have been eager to announce tax exemption for the film and the same is likely to be announced during the pre release event of the film.
However, movie buffs are of the opinion that the film doesn't deserve for ta exemption. "The film is not a documentary. It was made with a big budget and the makers made good money through its pre reelease business. Moreover, many cinematic liberties were taken to boast about late NTR. In such case, how can team NTR claim tax exemption to NTR film?," questions an observer.
NTR is hitting screens for Sankrantthi. Krish directed the movie on NBK productions.
