After ‘Barfi’ got nomination as India’s official entry to Oscar 2013, everybody related to the film have become very happy and are in mere celebration mood. Starting from main lead actor Ranbir Kapoor, who plays a deaf and mute boy, Priyanka Chopra who plays an autistic girl, other leading actress in the film Ileana D’Cruz to director Anurag Basu all are seemed to be quite enjoying at present as the rave reviews about their work has started pouring in from several corners as the film got nominated to Oscar beating some twenty other Indian films, competing for the same.
However at the same time, all are very cautious as they have long way to go before winning the Oscar in final round. As Ranbir said, “We all are very happy... It is a team effort but we should not be that excited as the film has just got an entry from India, we are yet to be selected for the main entry".
Director Anurag Basu too echoed the version of Ranbir Kapoor on Twitter, "Thank you much!!! Lekin abhi delhi door hai (We have a long way to go)!! Pray for us!!"
However Priyanka, who is presently in Los Angeles, sent her congrats message seemed to be quite excited. "Yay! Congratulations team ‘Barfi’! This is such amazing news. This film was a labor of love for all of us and to see it receive such amazing success is so gratifying.”
Now ’Barfi’s next fight is to win the final round of Oscar nomination at the 85th Academy Awards, which will take place on February 24, 2013.
Till date only three films Mehboob Khan’s ‘Mother India’, Mira Nair’s ‘Salam Bombay’ and Aamir Khan’s ‘Lagaan’, from India have been able to get the final round nomination. Ranbir, quite upbeat about the film’s success, said they would seek advice from Aamir in case they make it to the final round. "If the film gets a go ahead, we would take advice from Aamir (Khan) about how to go ahead," said Ranbir.
