Filmmakers Anurag Kashyap, Karan Johar among others were upset after the committee selected the Gujarati film over their production venture, The Lunchbox, which was being touted as a strong contender.

Correa says he was not much affected by the vocal backlash from several people from the film industry as he felt the committee did make the right decision.
“When the news was announced I did not know how to react. It was such a surprise. I was shocked. It took a long time for me to register. And parallely there was this criticism going on all over. I think it was rude of people to react in that way. I was fine with it as I felt it was a good decision,” said Correa on the sidelines of NFDC Film Bazaar.
