In a significant development for the entertainment industry, Vicky Kaushal’s much-anticipated historical drama Chhaava has been officially declared tax-free in the state of Goa. The decision, announced on February 20, 2025, is expected to encourage more viewers to watch the film in cinemas, making it more accessible to a larger audience.
Chhaava, which stars Vicky Kaushal in a powerful lead role, is a grand historical epic that narrates the life and journey of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the brave son of the legendary Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The film has garnered significant attention for its gripping storyline, elaborate battle sequences, and Vicky’s intense performance.
The Goa government’s move to waive the entertainment tax on the film is seen as a gesture to honor the cultural and historical significance of the story. The tax exemption is expected to reduce ticket prices in the state, thereby drawing more families and history enthusiasts to theaters.
The film’s production team and Vicky Kaushal himself expressed their gratitude for the tax-free status in Goa. Fans, especially those with roots in Maharashtra and the Konkan region, are celebrating the news, viewing it as a recognition of the Maratha legacy.
