India’s official Oscar submission is a Gujarati film called ‘Last Film Show in English’. According to R Madhavan and his co-star Darshan Kumaar, Rocketry and The Kashmir Files could also be considered for the Oscar entry. He said, “I think they should send Rocketry also, The Kashmir Files.” He added, “He [Darshan] is starting a campaign for The Kashmir Files, I am starting a campaign for Rocketry. No, all the best to them. I hope they go and win and make us proud. It’s time that we do as well in the film industry as we do as a country.”
While promoting Dhokha Round D Corner, R Madhavan addressed the media regarding the Oscar equivalent in India. He stated, “I also hope we have an Oscar equivalent or better in India. Ab bohot ho gaya we are trying to prove something over there.” In response to this, Aparshakti Khurana said, “We need a legit award show. One of them has come up and it’s called Critics Choice-something award.”
R Madhavan stated the following concerning the Oscars mania. He said, “It’ll be good to have the mantle, it will be a different thing. The only difference with Oscar is that anybody who gets it in the West, there’s a huge difference in their stature, income, salary, in the way they proceed in the industry. We should have one in India where the moment we get the award, there’s a legitimate increase in the valuation to go up.”
