Bhushan Kumar on Srikanth's Oscar Miss, National Award Win

Bhushan Kumar, the producer of the film Srikanth, talked about why winning the National Award is a bigger deal than the Oscars.

He said that making a good film isn't enough to get selected for the Oscars, and there are many factors involved.

The film, starring Rajkummar Rao, won the Best Hindi Feature Film award at the 72nd National Film Awards but was not chosen as India's official entry to the Oscars.

Kumar also shared how the film was made during the pandemic with budget constraints and how they managed to complete it in 42 days instead of the planned 65 days.

The film made Rs 50 crore at the box office, which was a good return on its Rs 27 crore budget.
