Oscar Nominations 2025: Anuja, a film backed by Guneet Monga and Priyanka Chopra, has received a nomination for the Best Live Action Short Film category at the Oscars 2025. The Oscar 2025 nominations were announced on Thursday.
The short film Anuja, nominated for the Best Live Action Short Film category at the Oscars 2025, was produced in collaboration with the Salaam Baalak Trust (SBT), a non-profit organisation founded by Mira Nair’s family to support street and working children.
The project also involved Shine Global, known for its Academy Award-winning films War/Dance (2007) and Inocente (2012), and Krushan Naik Films. Among its producers are Mindy Kaling and Oscar winner Guneet Monga Kapoor, who joined the team to further bolster the film’s impact.
Anuja centers on the nine-year-old title character, who works in a back-alley garment factory with her older sister Palak.
