The
US
Consulate
in
Mumbai
has
troubled
director
Paresh
Mokashi.
The
director,
whose
film
Harishchandrachi
Factory,
was
chosen
as
India"s
entry
to
the
Oscars,
is
unable
to
get
a
US
visa
as
the
Consulate
is
unaware
of
his
credentials
and
identity.
Mokashi
is
supposed
to
be
in
Los
Angeles
on
November
2
to
promote
his
film
but
he
is
still
waiting
for
a
visa.
He
states
that
the
reason
behind
this
is
because
he
is
not
very
famous
and
don't
have
any
document
to
prove
that
he
made
a
film
which
was
sent
to
the
Oscars.
All
the
documents
are
with
UTV.
Since
he
has
never
been
to
the
US,
he
had
no
idea
as
to
how
things
work.
However,
UTV
has
stepped
in
to
submit
the
required
documents.
Mokashi
needs
to
be
in
the
US
for
25
days
to
promote
his
film
for
the
Oscars.
He
then
needs
to
be
back
for
the
film"s
India
release.
He
will
then
return
to
the
US
and
stay
there
until
the
Oscars.
