An 18-member Committee with Amol Palekar as its Chairman is going to begin watching the 30-odd critically acclaimed films in Hyderabad from September 17th to pick up India's official entry for the Oscar Awards. Producers, Directors, Actors and Technicians were part of this panel.
The list of films shortlisted include Aamir Khan's PK, SS Rajamouli's Baahubali, Mahesh Babu's Srimanthudu, Amitabh-Deepika's Piku, Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Shahid Kapoor's Haider. Committee Members will have to complete watching all the films by September 24th.
Interestingly, Two films of Tollywood writer Vijayendra Prasad are the front runner to bag the honour. While one of them is âBaahubaliâ, The other blockbuster happens to be 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. It's Rajkumar Hirani's 'PK' which is giving tough fight to both these movies.
The 88th Academy Awards Ceremony is scheduled to take place on February 28th, 2016.
