Along with Gujarati film titled Last Film Show in English, Madhavan said that India should have an Oscars equivalent. He also said that Rocketry: The Nambi Effect and The Kashmir Files should also be considered for Oscars nomination.
Gujarati film titled Last Film Show in English is India’s official Oscars entry. R Madhavan and his co-star Darshan Kumaar said (in a light note) that Rocketry and The Kashmir Files should also be considered. Madhavan said, “I think they should send Rocketry also, The Kashmir Files.” Further adding, “He [Darshan] is starting a campaign for The Kashmir Files, I am starting a campaign for Rocketry.” Madhavan then said, “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.”
R Madhavan, while promoting Dhokha Round D Corner, spoke to IndiaToday.in about Oscars equivalent in India. He said, “I also hope we have an Oscar equivalent or better in India. Ab bohot ho gaya we are trying to prove something over there.” To this, Aparshakti Khurana added, “We need a legit award show. One of them has come up and it’s called Critics Choice-something award.”
About the craze around Oscars, R Madhavan 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.”
