A special screening of Zwigato was held for Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Wednesday after which the official handle of the Chief Minister’s Office announced that the movie has been made tax-free. “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,” CMO Odisha tweeted.
