State governments often provide tax-free screenings of films in theaters within their jurisdiction, particularly for movies with historical significance.
Previously, the Andhra Pradesh government granted this privilege to Balakrishna’s Gautami Putra Sathakarni. Currently, there is speculation that Prabhas’s Adipurush, a mythological action epic based on the Ramayana, might receive a country-wide tax exemption.
By implementing a tax-free policy, ticket prices for Adipurush would significantly decrease, potentially attracting a larger audience and generating higher revenue.
Given its subject matter rooted in the Hindu mythological epic of the Ramayana, the film stands a chance of obtaining the tax-free benefit. However, the final decision remains uncertain, and we must wait to see if Adipurush will indeed receive this favorable treatment.
