Happy for Barfi, angry Vicky Donor wasn't considered: Sircar - FamousCelebrityPicture.com

Shoojit Sircar is happy that �Barfi!� has been selected as India�s official entry for the Oscars this year, but at the same time he is upset with the producers of �Vicky Donor� for not sending it for the jury�s consideration.



The Film Federation of India (FFI) announced Saturday that Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D�Cruz starrer will be India�s official entry for the Oscars in the Best Foreign Language Film category.

�I�m really happy for Ranbir Kapoor, Anurag Basu and the whole team of �Barfi!� on the film�s selection as India�s entry to the Oscars. Congratulations!,� said Sircar in a statement.

�However, as far as my film �Vicky Donor� is concerned, I�m very disheartened, disappointed and angry that one of this year�s most original high concept story was not even considered by the producers of the film to be sent for the jury�s consideration,� added the director.

Actor John Abraham�s JA Entertainment co-produced �Vicky Donor� with Eros International. Made at a shoestring budget of Rs.5 crore, the film on sperm donation rocked the box office by collecting Rs.45 crore.

�I was in complete shock when the jury told us that they have not received the film from Eros for consideration�this purely shows their disregard for a film that brought them commercial success as well as critical acclaim,� Sircar said.

�I would also like warn all directors to beware of producers and watch out for their films at every stage. For somebody like me and the kind of films I make, what makes me happiest is the critical acclaim much more than the commercial gains. I sincerely hope that Eros in future does not repeat this mistake with any other film,� said Sircar.
