Bhushan Kumar expressed pride over Kartik Aaryan's first National Film Award for Best Actor for 'Chandu Champion' and confirmed upcoming projects including 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4' and an Anurag Basu film nearing completion. Kumar also highlighted the significance of the National Awards, stating they hold greater national value than the Oscars. His film 'Srikanth,' starring Rajkummar Rao, won Best Hindi Feature Film but was not selected as India's Oscar entry, a decision Kumar described as complex and influenced by multiple factors beyond film quality.
