Priyanka Chopra Jonas Joins Oscar-Shortlisted ‘Anuja’ as Executive Producer (EXCLUSIVE)
Priyanka Chopra Jonas has boarded the Oscar-shortlisted short film 'Anuja,' a story about child labor and sisterhood, as an executive producer.
Directed by Adam J. Graves and produced by Suchitra Mattai, “Anuja” centers on the 9-year-old title character, who works in a back-alley garment factory with her older sister Palak. “This beautiful film shines a spotlight on a subject that affects millions of children around the world, who are faced with the impossible decision between a future they cannot yet see and the immediate realities of their present,” Chopra Jonas said in a statement. Lead actor Sajda Pathan brings authenticity to the role, drawing from her personal experiences of surviving on the streets of old Delhi with her sister before finding support through the Salaam Baalak Trust.
