The director was taken aback when Vidhu Vinod Chopra dragged her name into the whole Eklavya controversy. "I have the least knowledge about how I come into picture,” says Farah Khan who is neck-deep busy with the promotion of Om Shanti Om, "In fact I didn't have a word to say about the film, let alone pass a judgment on it being nominated."What would have made Vidhu Vinod Chopra react? "How do I know?", she questions back, "When asked by some journalists if Eklavya - The Royal Guard was a worthy entry, all I said was that there are so many films in regional languages like Bengali, Telugu, Tamil etc. being made.

For that matter, how dare anyone? Don't you all know that...

Vidhu Vinod Chopra Unplugged
2007-10-01 12:36:00 Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the man behind Eklavya has been extremely vocal about his critics and defends he Oscar nomination of his movie. Here is a recent interview of the director:Eklavya’s - nominated for the Oscars. Were you expecting it?Yes and no! I was expecting a nomination for Parineeta and Lage Raho , and they never got nominated. So I had stopped expecting any more nominations. Keeping that logic in mind, I didn’t expect a nomination for Eklavya .What was your reaction when you first got the news?It was on the same day as India’s T20 World Cup win and I was watching the match with my son. I was elated, but that could’ve well been more because of India’s win than my nomination. But I think it was a pleasant mix of both.Though it is India’s official entry at the Oscars, it didn’t do too well back home. Reason?

Bhavna Talwar Sends Legal Notice Regarding Eklavya
2007-09-28 18:02:00 Indian Film Fraternity’s new found obsession with the Oscars is pretty apparent with all the controversies surrounding Eklavya. Personally I found the film extremely boring and the screenplay was a complete letdown. However many feel that Eklavya should have been India’s entry to the Oscars as it has the “foreign appeal”. Dharm director Bhavna Talwar disagrees and has sent a legal notice to the Film Federation Of India, alleging that the selection of Eklavya was “biased and vitiated and intended to wrongfully benefit the producer of the film Eklavya."

Before that Parineeta didn’t go, Paheli went. Did I say that Shah Rukh made a stupid film. My films didn’t go for two years, I didn’t bother anyone, why are they bothering us now,” Chopra said.
