Mumbai (PTI): Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan on Tuesday demanded that Value Added Tax and service tax on the entertainment industry be abolished and industry status be conferred to it.
It has become necessary to bring in entertainment industry under the ‘concurrent list’ so that it can be governed under central rules and enjoy tax concessions announced by the government from time to time, Khan said in a statement here.
At present, the entire entertainment and film industry comes under state government’ s jurisdiction as a result of which, it has not been able to enjoy the already conferred dejure industry status on it.
Shahrukh Khan would release a study on the entertainment industry on Tuesday evening highlighting the need for the removal of VAT and service tax.
The study - ‘The Entertainment & Media Hub’ is done by Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham).
Retaining the industry in the state government list deprives the tax concessions given by the Centre, Assocham said in its study.
According to the Assocham study, the media and entertainment sector would cross a turnover of Rs 1 lakh crore by 2011-12 from Rs 44,000 crore now.
The turnover of the television industry would grow by 22 per cent to Rs 51,900 crore by 2011-12 from Rs 19,100 crore, it said.

After Shahrukh Khan said that the International Cricket Council’s Anti-corruption unit had asked not to be with the team in the playing field or dressing room, ICC said it is surprised to hear that statement as IPL is a domestic tournament. The ICC said the IPL was a domestic tournament and the game’s governing body did not have any role in formulating the rules. “The reported incident has nothing to do with the ICC as IPL is a domestic tournament which is being held under the rules and regulations of the BCCI,” an ICC spokesman said from Dubai.
“Furthermore, the ICC Board in its meeting held in Dubai on 17-18 March, had decided that IPL will introduce a code of conduct, an anti-corruption code and an anti-doping code that complies with ICC regulations,” he said.
Earlier Shahrukh, the Bollywood superstar and co-owner of Kolkota Knight Rider’s team had shown disappointment saying he was barred by ICC’s anti-corruption committee in meeting his friends. I like to hang around with the boys. I am very energetic. I am very disappointed that the ICC has stopped me,” Shahrukh Said “I don’t know the ICC rules. I’ll tell only one thing: Nobody dare stop me from coming to Kolkata. I’ll be here whenever my team plays a match at the Eden.
Knight Riders’ CEO Joy Bhattacharya played down the event and said Shah Rukh was actually stopped by security personnel for not carrying a visitors’ pass. “Look, there is nothing like that. It was a gentleman from the security who stopped Shah Rukh Khan. He said Shah Rukh didn’t have a valid visitor’s pass…I don’t think there is any controversy or issue,” he said. ICC spokesperson said that BCCI is following ICC rules. But this rule was not meant to stop people like Shahrukh Khan from entering the dressing room.
Also, today in an statement, BCCI had said that everybody and even Shahrukh Khan must follow the ICC code of Conduct after he disappointment from Shahrukh.

The movie “Boothnath” is aimed at children audience on vacation. The movie is about a friendly spirit, family generations, school pranks and relationships. The script of the movie is clear and performance of Amitabh Bachchan is extremely perfect. Though the film shows Ghosts, it is not a horror movie and it just tries to get spirituality in theme.
The movie starts off as a perfect entertainer for kids. There is even a song sung by the kids Hum to Hain Aandhi dancing adult style, which borrows heavily from Westside Story the cult Hollywood film of the ’60s. Banku (Aman) has just shifted with his parents (Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla) to this huge house in Goa. But the house is haunted by an angry ghost (Bhoothnath) whose sole aim in life is to rid the house of its inhabitants. And the ghost can be vengeful.
But the ghost is no match for Banku’s charm and innocence. Soon they develop a rapport and the two of them create a magical world of their own. Some very good special effects as Amitabh appears and disappears at will. And Aman is a fairly spontaneous actor. He should have been given better dialogues instead of the stilted dialogues he is now busy mouthing.
Aman insists he has a special friend who is not visible to anybody else. But his mother does not believe him. Then suddenly one day Juhi Chawla realizes his her son is telling the truth. So Bhootnath is forced to appear in a human ‘avatar’ in front of Juhi too.
Chopra was very forthright and honest in admitting that Big B and SRK will not be seen sharing the same frame in Bhoothnath. He elaborates that this is so as it is the demand of the script.
Final verdict:
A summer vacation movie for the kids
Rating: 2/5

*Most admired game show
- Kaun Banega Crorepati(KBC) is an Indian game show. It was one of India’ most popular game TV shows. This game show is the only kind proper kind of TRP-sweeping show that TV channels only dreamt about.
**Saif Ali Khan to lit the show
- And guess who is getting the chance to sit on the very hot seat of the erstwhile host Amitabh Bachchan and then the King Khan—its Saif Ali Khan, the famous Bollywood actor.
***The previous shows
- The First two parts (or seasons) were hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. Kaun Banega Crorepati Dwitiya (KBC 2) was also hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. However show was closed by star plus (star network) after the host Amitabh Bachchan fell ill last year.
****How King Khan entered the show
- Later king khan hosted the 3rd part - KBC3. Shah Rukh Khan started his career in 1988 by appearing on various television series such as the war drama series Fauji playing the role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai and other series such as Circus.
- At that time Amitabh Bachchan fans were in for a disappointment but admirers of Shahrukh Khan had rejoiced as he took over from the Big B as host of the hugely popular TV game show “Kaun Banega Crorepati�.
*****The position as of now
- Now if trade circulars are to be believed, Saif Ali Khan will be hosting the new season of the KBC very soon.
- Saif Ali Khan is the son of Bollywood actress, Sharmila Tagore, and Indian cricketeer, Mansoor Ali Khan. Saif Ali Khan has been married to Bollywood actress, Amrita Singh, and has two children, namely daughter Sara Ali Khan, and son Ibrahim Ali Khan. Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh have now separated. Sara and Ibrahim are with their mother, Amrita Singh.
- Saif Ali Khan was of late romantically involved with an Italian girlfriend Rosa. The affair seems to be over with both of them, as currently he is dating Indian Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor. Saif has openly announced that they are a couple now.
- He has a sister by the name of Soha Ali Khan who apparently too is a Bollywood actress.
******Big frustration for the fans of Big B and King Khan
- Well the fans of Saif Ali Khan can welcome him in his new avatar as host of the prominent KBC, butt let us hope he fits into the shoe of Big B and King Khan and also will be able to heighten up the TRP of Star Plus. Amitabh Bachchan fans and King Khan fans are in for a disappointment but admirers of Saif Ali Khan can rejoice as he will take over from King Khan as host of KBC, but of course the fans of the great King Khan will undeniably miss him.
