Vidhu Vinod Chopra is on Cloud Nine. The filmmaker’s Eklavya, The Royal Guard has been voted as India’s official entry to the Oscars.
Not many know that way back in 1980, Chopra’s short non-fiction film, An Encounter with Faces was one of the first Indian films to be nominated for the Oscars.
The director however is elated. “This was only the first battle.
The real one is still ahead. I’m leaving for the US on October 2 and will start my groundwork there.
I’m banking on my previous experiences at the Academy and the overwhelming support the film has received in the West. I hope to make India proud.”
With a World Cup home, let’s hope there’s still something more in the pipeline. Chak De India!
