Who dares question Balakishna, asks AP Minister

Jalapathy Gudelli 26 Jan 2017

Andhra Pradesh cabinet gave nod to 100 percent entertainment tax exemption for Nandamuri Balakrishna’s “Gauthamiputra Satakarni”. Speaking to media, Minister Palle said the government has sanctioned the tax exemption as it told great history of AP.

When media reporters asked any minister in the cabinet opposed the decision, he shot back, “Does any body have guts to oppose Balakrishna?”

When asked why AP government refused to give tax exemption for “Rudhramadevi”, he said the movie is more about Telangana culture. Anyhow, it is finally good for Satakarni’s distributors that government has officially approved the tax exemption. Now they have to get it officially from Telangana government.
