The Shah Rukh Khan film, which is being loved by millions globally and has already minted over Rs 430 crore through its Hindi version alone, is likely to be one of the top contenders during the next award season in India.

But is that enough? During a recent chat, the director of the Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Deepika Padukone co-starrer, got candid about the film and expressed his desire to send the film to the Oscars. Read on to know all he had to say.

During a recent interaction with ETimes, the director of the globally successful film was asked if he wants the Shah Rukh Khan film to be in the running for an Academy Award. Answering this, Atlee said, “Of course, even Jawan should go, if everything falls in place. I think every effort, everybody, every director, every technician who is working in cinema, their eyes are on the Golden Globes, Oscars, National Awards, every award.”
