Anuja's Oscar Journey: Guneet Monga Reveals Fundraising Challenges! Mon December 30th, 2024

The ending of 2024 couldn't have been more ideal for Guneet Monga Kapoor. She is the executive producer of the short film Anuja, which was just shortlisted for the 2025 Oscars in the Best Live Action Short Film category last week. The film, which was directed by Adam J. Graves, illuminates the terrible reality of child labor in New Delhi. In a recent interview, Monga said that the amount of money raised exceeded the film's budget and that she is actively seeking more money to guarantee the project moves on to the next stage.

In a media discussion, Guneet Monga talked about the team and executive producers' work handling the marketing campaign and raising money for Anuja. She disclosed that the amount of money raised exceeded the real budget for the movie. Monga did concede, though, that the true test is still to come.

Having won two Academy Awards, she described how they are concentrating on making sure the short film receives a nomination. Monga revealed that she has been spending her time calling, contacting people, encouraging Anuja, and obtaining more funds.

She is also choosing the ideal venue for the movie and planning its release. She drew on years of expertise to highlight the team's dedication to moving the project forward and expressed hope for a nomination, crossing their fingers for the next round of the process.

Additionally, Monga revealed that this year's Kill and Gyaarah Gyaarah projects had been immensely satisfying for them. She clarified that even if some people questioned the viability and attractiveness of Kill, their intention was to make a high-octane action movie.

They were still determined to produce it in its purest form, though. She added that the emphasis has always been on delivering the finest story possible, much like with earlier hits like The Lunchbox (2013), Masaan (2015), and The Elephant Whisperers (2022).

With hope for the future, Monga disclosed that Sara Ali Khan and Ayushmann Khurrana will be starring in their upcoming movie.
