"Farhan Akhtar has asked the Maharashtra state government to waive the tax on Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.  Akhtar, who plays legendary Indian athlete Milkha Singh in the biopic, said that the tax exemption would enable the film to reach a larger audience, IANS reports.  &amp;quot;There is a procedure, which the production needs to follow. According to us, the film qualifies for that,&amp;quot; explained the 39-year-old.  &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t apply for every film, but [we are applying] for this film because we want it to reach those for whom ticket prices are high and who wait for it to come on TV. So, they will also get to see it in the current atmosphere.  &amp;quot;A lot of schools, which want to show the film to the students, are also calling us. So, if the film is tax free for them, it will be beneficial. Besides, a percentage of the collection of the film also goes to Milkha Singh&amp;#039;s foundation.&amp;quot; Starring Art Malik, Sonam Kapoor, Divya Dutta and Prakash Raj,  the film released to positive reviews, earning over \u00C2\u00A31.5 million in its opening weekend overseas.
