Over three weeks at the box office but there’s no stopping Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Super 30’. A small factor behind this could be the fact that eight states have declared the film tax-free. The latest to do so was Haryana. Anand Kumar, the educationist on whom the film is based, and Hrithik expressed their gratitude to Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for the decision.
