Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have been invited to be a part of the Academy and cast a ballot at the next year’s Oscar Awards. Priyanka Chopra, who is already earning a name internationally, was made a part of the club, thanks to her cinematic contributions like ‘Barfi!’ and ‘Baywatch’. While Deepika Padukone is also included in the list, recognized for her work in ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage’ and ‘Piku’. Perfectionist Aamir Khan too is a part of the coveted class credited for his works like ‘3 Idiots’ and ‘Lagaan’.
