Celebrated actor-politician Ravi Kishan has expressed his desire for his upcoming film, Chidiakhana, to be granted entertainment tax-free status to encourage inspirational cinema and motivate young generations. The film, directed by Manish Tiwari, is a sports drama set to release on June 2. Kishan believes that the film’s powerful message and positive impact on viewers warrant special support from the government he will speak to. Chidiakhana boasts a talented ensemble cast, led by Ritwik Sahore and Avneet Kaur, and highlights themes of determination, unity, and the pursuit of dreams through their journey to reclaim their school playground. By removing the financial burden associated with entertainment tax, the government can make the film more accessible to a wider audience, thereby maximizing its positive impact.
