Munnabhai goes to Oscars
3 October 2006 | Movies | No Comments
Producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra has decided to send his movie Lage Raho Munnabhai to the Oscars as an independent entry. He made the announcement at an awards function. "The record number of fan mails that we have received worldwide have supported our belief and inspired us to go ahead with sending the film across to the Academy as an independent entry. We strongly believe that LAGE RAHO MUNNABHAI is a film that should be screened at all international film festivals."
The belief has been further strengthened by an invitation extended to Chopra by the University of Southern California for a special screening of LAGE RAHO MUNNABHAI on 27th October, which has been organized for their cinema students and the press from Hollywood. Can any film qualify to be sent as an independent entry ? It seems that any film released in the US can qualify.
