Kangana, who fights against child trafficking and women exploitation in the film, also added that the state's CM might declare Dhaakad tax-free.
'He also complained us we are not portraying the potential of Indian women in movies. We took notes. He has implemented several schemes for girls. He assured us that his team will look into it and he might declare it tax free in the state. He has assured full cooperation and we are grateful to him,' Kangana added. The actress had also tweeted about her meeting with CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
