Many fans and critics believe that Vicky Kaushal's recently released film'Sardar Udham' is nothing short of a masterpiece. This is why there was an outrage of sorts when it was rejected as India's official entry for The Academy Awards. Director Shoojit Sircar already shared his opinion on the matter and now Vicky has also shared his two cents on his film getting out of Oscars race.
Vicky said that he is quite elated with what the film has achieved and he respects jury's decision to chose a better film to represent India. Talking about film's success, Vicky said, I can sense that it has [struck a chord with] the audience. [In an OTT release], the film is not judged by box-office numbers. Instead, people are recommending it to their friends and family.
He then stated, “Everybody has the right to their opinion. We have a jury [comprising] experts in cinema. They made a selection, and we have to respect that selection. I haven't seen the Tamil film, but Shoojitda has seen it and is gung-ho about it. I am sure it's the best decision taken for Indian cinema to be on a global platform. We should now root for the film that is selected, and hope that it brings us glory.”
