Vivek Oberoi and Salman Khan’s films win at the same film festival

They might not see each other’s faces, but actor Salman Khan’s production Chillar Party and actor Vivek Oberoi’s Dekh Indian Circus have won awards at the 17th International Childrens’ Film Festival that recently concluded in Hyderabad.

Vivek’s film had earlier been voted the best film at the Busan film festival by the audience, in the age group of 16-40 years. Director Mangesh Hadawale (director of National Award winning film Tingya) says, “Busan had an older audience, as compared to the young children in Hyderabad. But after receiving tremendous response from both segments, we are convinced that this film will be well-received commercially and win hearts of all age-groups.

1,75,000 kids attended the festival overall as the audience and the kind of response we received from the children and the members of the trade fraternity, is heart warming.”

Says Vivek, “I am so proud to associate with Dekh Indian Circus which is making India and all of us proud.”
