Happiness and pride are feelings that engulfed actress-director Geetu Mohandas when her independent film "Liar's Dice" was chosen as India's official entry for the best foreign film category at the 87th Academy Awards Tuesday.

"I am extremely excited and happy for my entire cast and crew, and for my producers. This ('Liar's Dice') was purely an independent film. It's a proud moment for all of us today", Geetu, a Malayalam film actress, who made her directorial debut with "Liar's Dice", said.

"When you make a film, you don't expect anything from it...you just want the film to be accepted and appreciated. But I am extremely happy with the way things have shaped up", she added.

The team is now waiting for the moment when the Oscar shortlist for the best foreign film category will be announced.
