Rajkummar Rao: I'd like to receive an Oscar from Meryl Streep.

Rajkummar Rao,
who won the
Best Actor and
Best Supporting
Actor trophies at
the Star Screen
Awards 2017, is
proud that his
film Newton is
India's official
selection for the
Oscars this year.
At the awards last
night, the actor
expressed
excitement about
the Oscars and
the fact that 2017
has been his year.
He even shared
how he would
like the
excitement rolling
even in the
coming 2018.
"Oscars! There we go! I hope the new year
brings along a lot of happiness, for the
whole country. We are very hopeful for
Newton, and I hope the new year will be
great for Newton as well. Yes, I would like
to walk the red carpet at the Oscars, but I
am not dreaming about it. It is better to be
neutral and happy about the fact that it is
India's official entry for the Oscars this
year, Rajkummar, who won the honours
for Newton and Bareilly Ki Barfi, said.
He would like to receive the golden
statuette at the Oscars from whom?
Rajkummar said, "Meryl Streep or Daniel
Day-Lewis. It doesn't matter who gives it, I
just hope I get it.
When the actor was asked how he feels
knowing that 2017 has been his year, and
that most of his films were hits, he thanked
his audience for appreciating his work and
sincerity.
"Oh man! I really enjoyed, I am glad I got to
be a part of some really wonderful films. I
hope it continues in 2018 as well, I hope
you guys say that 2018 is my year as well. It
was like a sixer, Bose was my last hit, as I
said, I am happy with the fact that most of
my films did well, and people liked my
efforts and my sincerity.
On being asked to share a little about his
film with Dinesh Vijan, Raj said, "I am very
excited, let's see, let's see.
So while it looks like the actor's 2018 is
already set, he was asked what his new
year plans are, and he said that he is
excited to attend his best friend's wedding
in Bangkok. "My best friend is getting
married in Bangkok, so I will be in Bangkok,
I am going to attend his wedding there, he
said.

He didn't exactly say that

The film was nothing extraordinary. Surprised at the good reviews it got. One time watch at best.

And how exactly would that be less "sickening"?

Because they're international film festivals, unlike Oscars - that are appreciation awards for American Cinema primarily.

I know it's a complex concept to understand.
