<h1>State allocates its GST share from hit film of late singer to singer's private welfare foundation amid estate, IP questions</h1> A recently released film starring a deceased, popular singer-composer opened to sold-out shows across a state and nationwide, with multiple daily screenings and strong box-office expectations. The singer, who also produced the film with two associates, plays a blind musician; footage evoked similarity to the singer's recent accidental death. The state government decided to allocate the state's share of GST receipts from the film to a welfare foundation established by the singer. Key legal points include revenue allocation from public taxation to a private foundation, producer and intellectual property interests tied to the deceased artist, and potential estate or attribution issues.
