Singh emphasized the need for a unified and credible voice in international award submissions, stating, “It is extremely important to decide which association holds the authority to select and send Indian films to the Oscars. We need transparency and proper representation to ensure the best of Indian cinema reaches the global stage.” With his continued advocacy and cinematic contributions, Chandrakant Singh is not only a filmmaker but a powerful voice for India’s place in world cinema.
