Guneet Monga, the acclaimed producer behind Anuja, has expressed her immense honor after receiving a nomination for the 97th Academy Awards. Taking to social media, Monga shared her gratitude, calling it a privilege to bring to life the story of Anuja, which represents the powerful work of Salaam Baalak Trust India. The film follows the journey of two sisters who defy the odds and dare to dream beyond their harsh circumstances, weaving a story of resilience, hope, and an unbreakable bond.
Monga passionately described Anuja as not just a film, but a celebration of the strength shown by children who face unimaginable challenges every day. She emphasized that, despite these hardships, these children continue to inspire with their ability to find reasons to smile and hope for a brighter future. Through Anuja, the team hopes to spark meaningful conversations about education, child labor rights, and the dreams of young children worldwide. "This nomination is a testament to how a story made with all heart can transcend borders," Monga wrote, reflecting on how the film’s message of hope has reached across the globe.
Directed and written by Adam J. Graves, Anuja brings together an extraordinary team, with notable producers like Mindy Kaling, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Guneet Monga herself. The cast features powerful performances from Sajda Pathan as Anuja and Ananya Shanbhag as Palak, with supporting roles by Nagesh Bhonsle and Gulshan Walia. Cinematographer Akash Raje and composer Fabrizio Mancinelli added their touch to the film, creating a visual and auditory experience that complements the emotional depth of the story.
The nomination also serves as a tribute to the children at Salaam Baalak Trust, whose strength and spirit continue to inspire. With Anuja now streaming on Netflix, Monga invites everyone to watch the film and be part of this incredible journey of hope. As she signed off, “See you at the Oscars!”—a fitting reminder that when stories are told with heart, they can indeed change the world.
Congratulations to the entire Anuja team, and here's to the power of storytelling that transcends borders and speaks to the universal spirit of humanity.
