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!
