Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that the film 'Krishnavataram' will be tax-free in the state following a special screening at the Lok Bhavan auditorium in Lucknow. The screening, attended by Governor Anandiben Patel, Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, and other officials, featured enthusiastic chants of 'Krishna-Krishna' and 'Radhe-Radhe'. Adityanath praised the film for portraying Lord Krishna's life from a human perspective and effectively weaving in narratives of key figures like Radha and Rukmini. He directed the Information Department to arrange special screenings across all districts to foster a connection between children and youth with India's cultural heritage. The film, directed by Hardik Gajjar, was released on May 7 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, featuring actors such as Siddharth Gupta, Sanskruti, and Jackie Shroff.
