On behalf of Government Of India’s official entry to Academy Awards (Oscars), this film is not even picked. But there is this wild-card entry like thing, which would anyway allow films to compete for Oscar even if the country picks them or not. That’s what happened with Dialogue King Saikumar’s latest Kannada movie.
For Best Foreign Film category, India has sent “Court” as an official entry. However, in the 300 movies list of probables picked by The Academy for final scrutiny, there is Kannada blockbuster “RangiTaranga” too. While the film features all debutants as main leads, including a debutant director Anup Bhandari, it has versatile actor Sai Kumar playing the antagonist.
“We’ve never thought that the film will make it to Oscars. If the film ends up on final list, then it’s going to be a wonderful film. If at all the film wins Academy Award, then I’ll dedicate it to my grand daughter”, says Saikumar, reacting on the whole happening.
