'Zwigato': Odisha Government waives entertainment tax on Kapil Sharma's drama film

Actor-comedian Kapil Sharma starrer 'Zwigato' has got an exemption from entertainment tax in Odisha. On Wednesday, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik approved the proposal for the same. The official Twitter handle of the CM announced the news and wrote, 'CM @Naveen_Odisha has approved a proposal to waive off the entertainment tax for 'Zwigato', a film based on the struggling life of a food delivery boy and his family. The Hindi language film has been directed by @nanditadas and its entire shooting has been done in #Bhubaneswar.'

'State Govt is promoting #Odisha as a destination for film shooting via proactive policies. It will promote tourism potential & provide job opportunities for talented youth. CM appreciated efforts of Ms Das for promoting #Odisha as a destination to shoot commercial movies,' the statement concluded.

Directed by Nandita Das, ‘Zwigato’ shows Kapil in the role of a food delivery agent, who takes up the job after he loses his position as the floor in charge at a factory. When his wife, played by Shahana Goswami, also starts a new job, his rating as a food delivery agent goes down as he struggles to find the reason behind it.
