The
Tamil Nadu budget was announced
yesterday by the Finance Minister
Anbazhagan. In his budget speech,
the minister said that several tax
cuts and other benefits have been
announced for the Tamil film industry
ever since the present government
came to power. He pointed out that
films with Tamil titles were given
tax cuts and charges for outdoor
shooting was reduced considerably.
However, the benefit does not seem
to have reached
the common man, with the ticket prices remaining
as high as ever, he said. Reacting to this,
the Hon’ble Minister said that he
would constitute a committee to reconsider
the decision on whether the benefits are
worth anymore.
