Bhopal, March 2 The Madhya Pradesh government announced on Monday that the Hindi film "Shatak" would be tax-free in the state, with Chief Minister Mohan Yadav saying the film showcases the tradition of national service and values that the RSS has maintained for decades.
Directed by Aashish Mall and produced by Vir Kapoor, the film, which was released on February 19, chronicles the history of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), beginning with the childhood of its founder, K B Hedgewar, in Nagpur, and his involvement with the Anushilan Samiti.
It highlights events such as the liberation of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and the 1948 Kashmir crisis.
"The Hindi film 'Shatak' has been declared tax-free across Madhya Pradesh. This film powerfully presents the tradition of national service and values that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has maintained for decades," CM Yadav said in a post on X.
He added that the film conveys the message that a strong and self-reliant India can only be achieved through organized thought, character, and a spirit of service.
