Rupesh Paul, director of the much-talked about Sherlyn Chopra-starer 'Kamasutra 3D', is confident about getting nominated for Oscars after making it to the prestigious contention list of the 86th Academy Awards.
Kamasutra 3D made it to the prestigious contention list of the 86th Academy Awards, with selection in the three categories - Best Motion Picture, Original Score and Original Song with five songs. Speaking about making the same, Rupesh said, "I am confident about walking the Oscar red carpet with my cast and crew. We have made it to three categories. I am positive about our songs. The music composers have done a wonderful job." Rupesh also says that it is proud moment for him. "Probably now we have an answer for those who claimed the movie to be soft porn. Hopefully, they know that soft porn is not eligible for the Academy Award nominations," he added.
Kamasutra 3D will be released in three versions. Rupesh said "We are targeting the Video On Demand market as we can show our uncut film there. We have made another version for family viewing as that is a big audience in India and we don't want to miss out on that one. We also have theatrical version."
While speaking about the reasons for releasing three versions, Rupesh said, "Our people have double standards. If a film like Nasha was banned on the grounds of having a provocative title our will definitely be banned in its hard version. In the tourism campaign Incredible India, India is promoted as a land of Kamasutra but I vividly remember the fight Meera Nair had to put up to release her film in India." The film has been in news ever since the makers revealed the first look with Sherlyn Chopra posing nude. "Sherlyn has done a wonderful job.
No other Indian actress can dream of doing Kamasutra. She plays role of the sex goddess," says Rupesh. However, after the trailer was released, people expecting it to be an erotica were taken by surprise as the film looks to be a war film. "It is a war film but erotica is major part of the same. Sherlyn has done an excellent job but a lot depends on how much we are allowed to show," Rupesh said. The film also stars Milind Gunaji and Makrand Deshpande.
