Zwigato declared Tax-Free in Odisha, Kapil Sharma and producer Sameer Nair react – Exclusive – Times of India
Zwigato, for those who have not so far seen this authentic take on post-Covid recession, was shot entirely in Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha. It tells the story of a delivery boy played by Kapil Sharma trying desperately to make ends meet for his family during the pandemic.
The film’s director Nandita Das hosted a screening of the film for Odisha’s chief minister Naveen Patnaik at his residence. The CM was apparently moved by the film and felt that Odisha’s native Nandita Das’ film is a good kickoff point for more filmmaking and tourism opportunities in the State.
Reacting to the tax exemption of Zwigato in Odisha producer, Applause Entertainment CEO, Sameer Nair says, “We are grateful to Chief Minister Shri Naveen Patnaik and the government of Odisha for this. Zwigato is an important soulful story and we wanted to take it to as wide an audience as possible. It is a story of our times for our times”
Adds Kapil Sharma, “Bade shiddat se bani hai hamari film (our film has been made with great reverence). Achche ke saath achcha hi hota hai (good things happen to the good).”
