Oscar Winner Guneet Monga Kapoor Backs Academy-Qualified ‘Anuja,’ a Tale of Sisterhood Against Child Labor (EXCLUSIVE)
Indian powerhouse producer Guneet Monga Kapoor has boarded Adam J. Graves and Suchitra Mattai's short film 'Anuja' as executive producer.
Adding authenticity to the narrative, lead actress Sajda Pathan draws from her own experiences of surviving on the streets of old Delhi before finding support through the Salaam Baalak Trust (SBT), a nonprofit founded by Mira Nair’s family. “Filmmakers Adam J. Graves and Suchitra Mattai bring an extraordinary Indian story of the human spirit to the screens, and it’s an honor to be on board as an executive producer,” says Monga Kapoor, whose “The Elephant Whisperers,” directed by Kartiki Gonsalves, won best documentary short film at the 2023 Oscars. Monga Kapoor, founder of Mumbai-based Sikhya Entertainment, brings significant festival circuit experience to the project, having produced acclaimed features including “The Lunchbox,” “Masaan,” and “Gangs of Wasseypur,” all of which premiered at Cannes and played worldwide.
