“That’s humanity. That’s what we should be working towards. Getting it back,” she wrote white retweeting a post about the kids.

The film has collected Rs 107 crore in just six days of release. After Uttar Pradesh, tt has also been declared tax free in Haryana, according to an official statement released on Thursday. “Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has announced Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior film to be tax free in the state,” the Haryana government statement said.

Talking about initial audience response to Tanhaji, Ajay said: “I am happy because our film has released today. Yesterday, the media watched the film and most of them have given it a four-star rating. If the media all across the country have liked the film then, I am hopeful that the audience will also appreciate it. I urge the audience to go and watch the film in theatres because this kind of film hasn’t been made earlier on such a big scale and with such advanced technology. Apart from that, the story, the emotions, the drama and the action has worked really well as per the media and my opinion, so I keep my fingers crossed.”
