The jury who called the movie vulgar and propaganda has gotten the answer today. The people have liked the movie and that’s the response. I will not give any controversial statements. It hurts when the movie isn’t allowed in certain theatres but gets shortlisted for Oscar. Indian films have come a long way and I wish other shortlisted movies all the best.”
