Mumbai: Gully Boy, this year’s official entry to the Oscars, failed to make it to the final list. The 92nd Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California on 10th February.
The last win for India at the Oscars was in 2008, by A.R. Rahman, for Best Original Score for the film, Slumdog Millionaire and ironically, Azharuddin Mohammad Ismail, who played the role of Salim Malik in this Hollywood film, directed by Danny Boyle, has now returned to the slums after selling his flat given to him by Jai Ho Trust.
