Vignesh Shivan, the co-producer of Pebbles — India’s official entry to the Oscars — is hoping that his film will be able to end India’s 20-year wait and manage to make it to the shortlist of 15 Oscar finalists.


Taking to Twitter, Vignesh Shivan said, “Hope Pebbles enters the shortlist of fifteen finalists for the Best International Feature Film. After Lagaan, after almost 20 years an Indian film making it to the list will be a remarkable achievement. Director P S Vinothraj deserves it too (sic).”
