Vidhu Vinod Chopra says Hollywood insiders favor 12th Fail for Oscars over 2018

He made these comments at the Indian International Film Festival in Goa. Chopra emphasized that he values making a good film over awards. He expressed indifference to the National Awards, suggesting they hold less significance in the industry.
