"Bhaag Milkha Bhaag", Bollywood's ode to star athlete Milkha Singh, was made tax free by the Bihar government Tuesday.
The decision was taken by the cabinet at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, an official said.

Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" stars Farhan Akhtar, who plays Milkha Singh, and Sonam Kapoor.
