In an interaction with ETimes, the director, Pan Nalin opened up on how he felt after the announcement and how it edged out fan favourites in the Oscars race.
"I think it's an unbelievable moment for me. I really can't believe it," stated Pan before adding that the film has already won multiple awards across various international film festicals.
Speaking about what worked for the film, he said, "To answer your question of what could have gone in the favour of 'Chhello Show': It celebrates the spirit of India that thinks big. It's the story of a guy who thinks of making it big in cinema and nothing stops him. The message is: Follow your dream and you will succeed. Importantly, the narrative has been rolled out in a very simple and organic way."
While the director said that he cannot comment on how it edged out others to become India's official entry, he did conjecture, "I can assume the reason to be only the fact that the jury was pleasantly surprised with my film. They had seen the other films which the media was talking about since 2 days, as India's Oscar entry- The Kashmir Files, RRR and Gangubai Kathiawadi."
The director admits it was really hard to get to release Chhello Show in India, but the film releases in theatres on October 14.
