It was a star-studded night for Sandalwood on Saturday. Over 30 artistes from the industry received the state kannada film awards for 2008-09. Karnataka Chief minister BS Yeddyurappa gave away the awards and promised he’d try to reduce the entertainment tax on Kannada films and increase subsidy from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 15 lakh.
