On Monday, June 26, veteran actor and filmmaker Amol Palekar responded angrily to various states` tax exemptions for films such as The Kashmir Files (2022) and The Kerala Story (2023). He also referred to these films as "propaganda films."
Amol Palekar made these remarks at the Samajik Salokha Parishad in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, to commemorate the birth anniversary of the renowned king and social reformer, Shahu Maharaj. He said that goons used to harass the aam junta, but that the government and politics now favour masked crowds. He also claimed that minorities had been terrorised in recent decades.
