Priyanka Chopra Enters the Oscar Race as Executive Producer of Anuja!

Global icon Priyanka Chopra is once again leaving her mark through this impactful cinema by being associated as the executive producer for the Oscar-shortlisted film, Anuja.

With the help of Academy Award winner Guneet Monga Kapoor, Anuja provides poignant insight into the harsh reality of millions of children working in a busy garment factory where sacrifice, family issues, and resilience await them.

Not only an achievement in a professional front by Chopra. “This stunning film shines the light on a subject affecting millions of children across the world,” she said with pride at this chance to be part of that story, to look into the power of choice.

The Heart of Anuja: A Nine-Year-Old’s Quest for a Better Future

It’s a story of the heroine, who has to take a decision that changes her life. And the film poignantly brings this out in images. The core of the film is Anuja, nine years old, working in a garment factory with her elder sister, Palak, in the worst possible back alley.

Anuja’s choice goes beyond her little world and talks about millions of children trapped in between survival in the present and yet to dream in the future. The way the sensitive topic of child labor has been captured in this film educates everybody itself about a global crisis and therefore, is an excellent starting point for discussion regarding the issue of poverty and the influence of systemic inequality.

Guneet Monga and Legacy of Indian Cinema at the Oscars

Producer Guneet Monga Kapoor, joining hands with Anuja in this production venture, carries on a legacy of making socially relevant stories from India shine on the international platform.

The two Oscar wins she already carries under her belt for The Elephant Whisperers and Period: End of Sentence already make her an icon in international awards circuits.

It is the third Oscar nod for Monga, a testimony of how she is indeed one endowed with great gifts that can be likened to making movies that touch one’s heart with its universal appeal and emotional depth.

Salaam Baalak Trust and Shine Global: Powerful Connections for Change

This made Anuja with the help of the non-profit organisation called Salaam Baalak Trust (SBT) that deals with street and working children. Founded by the Mira Nair’s family, SBT was a big role player in grounding this film in its authenticity and truth.

The film is co-produced by Shine Global, who have Oscar-winning projects like War/Dance in 2007 and Inocente in 2012 under their belt. This co-production with Shine Global shows Anuja’s desire to bring out voices from the lesser heard and impact through cinema.
The global layer comes through established Hollywood voice, Mindy Kaling, one of the producers.

Indian Storyline Rising: Anuja and Santosh Keep Oscar Hopes Alive

With another Indian film marching its way to the Oscars, comes Santosh too. In the great pride of excellence march, Sandhya Suri directs it along with Shahana Goswami in it. The UK’s official entry into the Oscars, Santosh had premiered much earlier at Cannes Film Festival too. This further adds another feather to the Indian cinema cap of the world stage.

This double exposure of Indian talent at the Oscars brings glory to the country and underlines the growing global appetite for authentic, heartfelt storytelling.

Why Anuja is a Film the World Needs Right Now

Amid the circus that has been cinema’s crutch, Anuja is a blunt reminder to telling stories in the power of inspiriting change. For Priyanka Chopra, Guneet Monga, and everyone who worked to make the film, Anuja is not merely an exercise in art; it is an appeal.

We are reminded with every decision: big or small-that creates the ripple effect which goes on to create realities for millions of children. Win or not win an Oscar, Anuja has already won hearts by bringing to the fore an issue that needs urgent attention.

While waiting for the Academy Awards, one thing is sure: Anuja is not just a movie but a movement.
