After announcing financial assistance of Rs 95 lakhs for a movie on social reformist Periyar, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister has announced a sum of Rs 10 lakhs as grant for the Tamil dubbing of recent Hindi film Babasaheb Ambedkar.
The film features Mammootty in the title role.
In fact, he had won a national award for that long ago.
Though the title was not in Tamil, Karunanidhi has taken care to ensure that the movie gets tax-exemption.
The dubbing works for the movie are over and it would soon hit the screens. The Tamil Film Producers Council thanked the Chief Minister for his noble gesture.
