Tax exemption for Kannada movie ‘Landlord’: CM Siddaramaiah directs officials
Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said that officials concerned have been instructed to let the Kannada movie ‘Landlord’, which reflects social inequality and caste-based oppression, be exempted from payment of tax.
Referring to the Duniya Vijay-starrer, which was released on January 23, the CM posted on his Facebook account that films were an effective medium to reform society and shape public opinion by passing valuable messages to the viewers. “It is our moral responsibility as a government to stand with and support those who make socially concerned films,” he stressed.
Siddaramaiah added, “I believe that our decision will inspire people to make more films like ‘Landlord’ that shed light on the social system in the coming days.”
