Mumbai:
Aamir Khan's production "Peepli Live" is to be India's official
entry at the Oscars, an official at the Bollywood star's office
said Friday.
"Peepli Live" is former journalist Anusha Rizvi's debut film as
director. It has been shortlisted in the Best Foreign Film

The film, which does not boast of any big stars, is a satirical
take on farmer suicides in India and takes pot shots at the media,
politicians and bureaucrats.
