Mumbai: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Sarbjit failed to rake in moolah at the box-office but the film’s producer Vashu Bhagnani is not only planning to send it as a nomination for National Awards, but also for the Oscars.

In an interview to SpotboyE, Vashu confirmed that he intends to send the Omung Kumar-directed film as one of the contenders for India’s entry to the Oscars.He said, “We will send it as an entry, independently or in the race with other films. We will channelise our energy to make sure Sarbjit is in the race to become India’s entry to the Oscar this year.”

The film which also starred Randeep Hooda and Richa Chadha revolved around an Indian farmer who was convicted of terrorism and spying in Pakistan after he inadvertently crossed the border.
