Following closely on the heels of 'PK', the government of Uttar Pradesh has declared the Ayushman Khuranna starrer 'Hawaizaada' tax free in the state.

Commenting on the development Sanjeev Lamba CEO, Reliance Entertainment said, "We are extremely happy to receive the tax free grant. This will ensure that the film will reach out to a much larger audience base. The achievements of Shivkar Talpade are largely undocumented and even uncredited. This film is our attempt to highlight one of his biggest achievements of flying the first plane ever at Chowpatty, Mumbai in 1895. We are glad the authorities agreed with us on making the film available as tax free and we hope to follow suit in other states."

Echoing the sentiments Vibhu Puri said "I am thankful to the authorities for this grant. It took me almost five years to put my vision on the big screen. Now I am sure the film will get its full potential reach in the state of Uttar Pradesh."

Presented by Reliance Entertainment, 'Hawaizaada' is inspired from the life and works of Shivkar Talpade who flew the first ever unmanned plane 8 years before the Wright Brothers. Set in 1895 during the British Raj, the film is incidentally directed by Vibhu Puri who worked with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in 'Sawariya' and others. The film also features Pallavi Sharda and Mithun Chakraborty. 'Hawaizaada' is slated for a global release on Jan 30th, 2015.
