UP Govt to hold special screening of ‘Tejas’ – Times of India

The state government will hold a screening of newly released film ‘Tejas’ at the Lok Bhawan on Tuesday. The screening will be held immediately after the Cabinet meeting and will also be attended by the film’s lead actor Kangana Ranaut.
Touted as a film of “national importance”, Tejas joins a list of similar “nationalist” films like ‘The Kerala Story’, ‘The Kashmir Files’, ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ and ‘Uri’ which have been shown to a wide section of society by the government through special screenings.

A government spokesperson said that around 150 school children will join chief minister Yogi Adityanath and special invitees like retired defence personnel, doctors, lawyers, state government ministers, BJP members and government employees in the screening on Tuesday. “The film’s lead actor Kangana Ranaut, who is on a film promotion tour, will also be present during the screening,” the official said, adding that the film may be declared tax free in the state in the coming days.
