After a few days of deliberation, Tamil film Koozhangal has been picked as India’s official selection for Oscars 2022. A jury of 15 members in Kolkata watched 14 films from across the country and made the selection on Saturday. Among the films, Vicky Kaushal starrer Sardar Udham Singh and Vidya Balan-starrer Sherni were also shortlisted. On Sunday, the actor took to Instagram stories to congratulate the film’s producer, Vignesh Shivan and Nayanthara for their Oscar selection.

Sharing a poster, Vicky wrote, “Congratulations Vignesh Sivan, Nayanthara and Team #Koozhangal! Go for glory!!!”

Meanwhile, after the news dropped, Vignesh took to Twitter to express his joy about the selection. He captioned the tweet, “There’s a chance to hear this! ‘And the Oscars goes to.’ Two steps away from a dream come true moment in our lives. Can’t be prouder , happier & content”

The filmmaker and his fiancée, actress Nayanthara produced the film under their banner Rowdy Pictures. Directed by P.S. Vinothraj, the film follows a boy who accompanies his father in search of his mother, who has run away from her abusive marriage.
