The lead actor expressed his gratitude to the UP CM for making the film tax-free in UP.‘The Sabarmati Report’ is based on the burning of the S-6 coach of Sabarmati Express near Godhra station of Gujarat on February 27, 2002, in which 59 Hindu devotees returning from Ayodhya were burnt alive leading to massive communal riots in Gujarat. Produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan and Anshul Mohan, the film is directed by Dheeraj Sarna. UP is the sixth BJP-ruled state to declare the film tax free.Earlier the governments in Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Gujarat have already made the film tax-free. Earlier on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the film ‘The Sabarmati Report’, saying the “truth is coming out”.”…It is good that this truth is coming out, and that too in a way common people can see it. A fake narrative can persist only for a limited period of time. Eventually, the facts will always come out!” the prime minister had said in a post on X.This is not the first time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised a film. In 2022, he hailed Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘The Kashmir Files’ and had also mentioned ‘The Kerala Story’.
