The Indian capital might be the talk of Hollywood the next Oscar season as director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra pushes his film Delhi 6 for nomination in the Oscars.

The next step would be the declaration of the film as India's entry to the Academy awards.

Producers strike has already reduced the competition for Mehra. The pre-requisite for an Oscar entry is that it should have been released or should be releasing between October 1, 2008 and September 30, 2009 and should have run for seven consecutive days at least.

The last date of submission of a film to the IMPAA is September 15.
