30% of Baahubali revenue goes to Government

Censor formalities for 'Baahubali' Tamil version has been cleared Today. The film obtained 'U/A' as expected and it will be having wide release all over Tamil Nadu on July 10th.

The only setback for 'Baahubali' Tamil version is the high taxation. At least 30% of the revenues will have to be paid to the State Government in the form of entertainment tax. Whereas in the Telugu states, A tax of 15% is levied on direct films and 20% on dubbed flicks.
