“We have decided to make the film ‘The Sabarmati Report’ tax-free so that a maximum number of people can watch the film. I would also watch the film along with the other cabinet ministers,” CM Yadav said.
The Madhya Pradesh government decided to make the film tax-free after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah endorsed it.
A special screening was also held in New Delhi on Monday in the presence of Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports and Labour and Employment Mansukh Mandaviya, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari and actor Vikrant Massey.
Earlier, Prime Minister Modi also praised Vikrant Massey’s movie, saying the “truth is coming out”.
The movie also stars Ridhi Digra and Raashii Khanna in the lead roles.

The film is based on the burning of the S6 coach of the Sabarmati Express near Godhra station (Gujarat) on February 27, 2002.
At least 59 Hindu devotees returning from Ayodhya were burnt to death in the incident, which later led to the riots in Gujarat.
