Bollywood actor Priyanka Chopra is a bit disappointed with the decision to send Rajkumar Rao’s ‘Newton’ as the official entry to Oscars 2018. Rao’s just released was selected as the official entry to Oscars and almost everyone praised the decision and congratulated the actor. But Chopra seems unhappy and here’s why.
Chopra’s Marathi production, ‘Ventilator’ was also among the 26 films competing for the Oscars nomination. Directed by Rajesh Mapuskar, ‘Ventilator’ received critical and commercial success and also won three awards. So, Chopra was optimistic about the film to make it to Oscars.
However, she was a disappointment as it got snubbed with ‘Newton’. Rajesh Mapuskar told DNA, “I told her not to worry, assuring her that only the best film would make it. We were a bit disappointed when we learned about the verdict, the next day.”
“I guess, Priyanka must be even more disappointed because she was always ambitious about the film. Had it been selected, she would have ensured that it was the most-talked-about film in the run to the Oscars, especially since she is already an established name there. Ventilator was always the favorite baby of their banner,” he added.
