Summary
Aamir Khan is on a high. His production Peepli Live has become the first Indian film to be selected for the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in the competition section. The festival will be held from January 21-31 at Park City in the US. Talking about the honour, Aamir says, Sundance is one of the biggest and the most important festivals in the US. Robert Redford had started it to encourage independent filmmakers and directors. Its prestigious to even get your film selected for the festival as they pick up 14 films out of the 1000 that enter the competition. I am very happy for director Anusha Rizvi and her young team as I believe its the first Indian film to be selected there. All crew members are young and new. The only known actor is Raghuvir Yadav and some of the actors are real adivasis from Madhya Pradesh. I am happy for these youngsters.
