She mentioned, "Kantara should be India's entry to the Oscars next year, I know year is yet to end and there may be better films coming, but more than Oscar India needs the right representation globally. This land of mysteries and mystics one can't understand one can only embrace it." She later called the film an 'experiential reality' that the world must witness. 

For the unversed, Kantara (mystical forest), chronicles the tale of a demigod (Bhoota) who trades forest land with a king in the 1870s in exchange for happiness. Years later, the king's son gets consumed by greed and tries to get the land back, however, dies due to the rage of Bhoota.
