Mithun Chakraborty has successfully secured a 30% subsidy for films made in West Bengal, a move that has been approved by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari.
The actor’s request, aimed at boosting the state’s film production, was submitted to the government’s film policy committee earlier this month. The committee reviewed the proposal and recommended approval, citing the potential for increased employment and cultural promotion.
