Bengaluru, Jun 15: The Karnataka government has decided to give tax exemption to Kannada movie 'Daredevil Musthafa', which is based on a short story by prominent writer late Poornachandra Tejaswi.

Debutant movie director Shashank Soghal had recently requested Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to grant tax exemption for the film.

With the chief minister granting tax exemption, the movie tickets will be exempted from State Goods and Service Tax (SGST).

''The movie carries the message of communal harmony and unity, and has won praise from people, Tejaswi's readers, fans and family, and they have wished that the movie and its message has to reach large masses,'' Soghal had stated in his letter to Siddaramaiah, while requesting him to make time to watch the movie.

Son of Rashtrakavi K V Puttappa, who was popularly known as Kuvempu, Tejaswi was a photographer, publisher, painter, naturalist, and environmentalist. He had made a great impression in the 'Navya' (new) period of Kannada literature and indulged in the 'Bandaaya Saahitya' genre of protest literature.

'Daredevil Musthafa', a crowd-funded film, with a mostly new cast and crew, was released on May 19.
