Savita Raj Hiremath, one of the producers of Amitabh Bachchan-led sports drama 'Jhund' which was released on March 4, a week prior to 'The Kashmir Files', has said that she is 'perplexed' as to why her film was not granted the tax-free status. She took to her Facebook on Friday, March 18, and expressed her thoughts about the same.
"I recently watched Kashmir files and as the story of Kashmiri Pandits exodus its heartbreaking and is a story that needed to be told. It is a good voice for Kashmiri Pandits..!! But as the producer of JHUND I am perplexed. After all Jhund is also an important film and has a story and a Big Message that has received tremendous acclaim and word of mouth from audience," she wrote.
Savita questioned the government criterion for making 'The Kashmir Files' tax-free as she continued in her post, "So I want to find out what's the criterion on which govt selects a film to support it so strongly by making tax free, endorsing it through social media and asking Offices to showcase the film or give half day holiday to its employees."
Concluding her post, she added that 'Jhund' too is based on a subject 'crucial to our country's growth' as she wrote, "After all jhund also has a subject that is so crucial to our country's growth..jhund is not just talking about the disparity between caste and economic disparity but also shows a way to make the lower strata of society find their success story."
