Director Madhur Bhandarkar is thrilled about his film, 'PAGE 3' being selected for the L.A. festival.

"I consider it a great honour for the film to be selected for the festival, considering the many acclaimed international films that the film is being paired with. I have been told that the jury was very impressed with the realistic portrayal of the cocktail party circuit in the film, besides the trauma of a journalist depicted in the film," says Madhur.

Madhur is also looking at the occasion to get his film a world exposure.

"This is the first time it is being shown at a festival and it will be a great exposure for the film all over the world. Let's not forget that it has the unique distinction of being declared a hit besides grossing the highest collections from among the films released this year, " he adds.
