Home > Hindi Movies > Hindi Cinema NewsBy Anirudh | Sep 26, 2017
Recently, it was a trending news that India's official Oscar entry would be the latest Bollywood release, Newton. How many of you knew that the film that was in contention was the world famous Baahubali 2? Many reports suggest that Baahubali 2 and Newton were the films which were considered for the Oscars.
After Newton was officially picked, the creator of the massive Baahubali series, SS Rajamouli was approached to ask his views on Newton beating his film in the race to the Oscar foreign language category. Rajamouli, while interacting with the media was enquired about this, and he replied, "Not at all disappointed at losing out the race to Oscars this year. When I make a film, I never think about awards. It is not my aim. The goal is first to satisfy myself with the story and then next is to see that it reaches the maximum number of audience and makes money for everyone who has put their life in it."
It is great to see the maverick director take it easy and work for the best of the team and not just awards! We are also sure that he will be bagging numerous awards in India this year!
GREAT: AFTER RAJINI, NOW IT IS SS RAJAMOULI NOW

Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi writes a letter to director SS Rajamouli to support Swachhata Hi Seva movement.
"Shri S.S. Rajamouli Ji,
I am writing to you on a subject that is very close to Mahatma Gandhi's heart-Swachhata or cleanliness.
In the coming days, we will commemorate Gandhi Jayanti. An inspiration to billions across generations and borders. Mahatma Gandhi recognized that our attitude towards cleanliness also reflects our attitude towards society. Bapu believed in achieving cleanliness through community participation.
Bapu also believed strongly that Swachhata is for each of us to practice. Inspired by his noble thoughts, and a faith in the spirit of 125 crore Indians, let us renew our pledge towards cleanliness. Let us ensure that the coming days are shout living the Mantra of Swachhata Hi Seva. Leading up to Gandhi Jayanti, we can encourage widespread support for, and participation in cleanliness initiatives across India.
A clean India is the most noble service we can do for the poor, downtrodden and the marginalized. Unclean surroundings adversely impact the weaker sections of society even more. Being a leading and prominent personality from the Entertainment Industry, you motivate many across the country. Swachhata being an important aspect for the growth of society needs stimulus from people of your stature.
I Personally invite you to lend your support to the 'Swachhata Hi Seva' movement and dedicate some time for the cause of a Swachh Bharat. Your participation will further inspire others to be a part of the movement. You can share your experience with me on the Narendra Modi Mobile App. Let us all come together for cleanliness. pay a fitting tribute to Bapu and work towards building a New India.
Jai Hind,
(Narendra Modi)"
SS Rajamouli took to his Twitter space to post this letter and also share few words regarding this movement, ".@narendramodi ji, heartfelt appreciation for this wonderful initiation. I‘ll do my best to be a part of my Swachh Bharat. #SwachhataHiSeva".
Earlier in the day, Rajinikanth had issued a statement in support of this movement and now SS Rajamouli joins the list.
