Bollywood actor Aamir Khan’s latest production’Peepli Live’ has been selected as India’s official entry to the Oscars, an official at the star’s office said.

Aamir Khan said it’s a “special honour” to represent the country. “I’m truly pleased to listen to that ‘Peepli Live’ has been selected to represent India at the Oscars. It is always a special honour for me to represent India on a world platform and I would like to thank the Film Federation of India (FFI) for considering us worthy,” Aamir said.

This is the 3rd occasion that a movie with which Aamir is connected has been selected to contend for the best overseas movie honor at the Oscars by the FFI.

The first was Ashutosh Gowariker’s 2001 film ‘Lagaan’, featuring Aamir in the lead, which was nominated among the best five in the best foreign film category. But it lost to ‘No Man’s Land’.
