The filmmakers shared the news with the media that Pushpaka Vimana will make a lateral entry into the Oscars in 2017 for the ‘The best-adapted screenplay in foreign language’ category.

Pushapaka Vimana title has been borrowed from Kamal Haasan's silent film of the same name which was released in 1987, but there is no connection between the two movies.

In an interview with the TOI, Vikhyath AR spoke about the Oscar run, “Company Hindiwoods has agreed to promote the movie as an Oscar Nominee.”

He added, "The film will be screened at the New York theatre, and the first round of proposal will be sent sometime in March 2017. Post that, the competition begins." The producer also said, "The whole expense including publicity and content will cost ₹20 lakh to the company, and Hindiwoods will bear the cost.”
