Rajinikanth, Kamal and Celebes express their views on the state tax on cinema

The increase in the state municipal tax on the entertainment industry has crippled the industry and there are many celebs who have voiced their opinion in Twitter.

Siddharth tweeted, “#TN govt punished Tamil Cinema for years with #Ucertificate and bribes for #TaxFree & Tamil title scams. Now they want 30% + #GST ? #shame”. “The #TamilFilmIndustry must stand united. We are being played by this center-state confusion. #GST is one nation one tax! No exceptions!”. Shankar said, “48-58%.. too much tax.. save Tamil cinema”.

Superstar Rajinikanth had also put in his earnest plea when he tweeted, “Keeping in mind the livelihood of Lakhs of people in the tamil film industry, I sincerely request the TN GOVT to seriously consider our plea”. This was really appreciated by one and all and Kamal Haasan immediately took to his Twitter page to say, “Thanks Rajni avaragaLay for voicing your concern. Lets request first as gentlemen should. Then we shall see. @superstarrajini & TN .Govt”.
