SRK also talked about the problems he is facing from West Bengali government organizations. In fact, there are two problems that his company is facing right now. The first is that SRK is not very happy with entertainment tax that his company has to pay for organizing cricket matches in Kolkata. The second issue is with Kolkata Police about security fees.
This is obviously a good decision that Bollywood Super Star SRK has taken decision to open a cricket academy in West Bengal. This is also truth that he is facing some problems also. However, he is the owner of Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL). That is why, his company has to pay entertainment tax. But my question is that cricket is ever part of entertainment or game.
