The short film Anuja, backed by Guneet Monga and Priyanka Chopra, lost the 2025 Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film to I’m Not a Robot. Directed by Adam J. Graves, Anuja follows a young girl, played by Sajda Pathan, who works in a Delhi garment factory alongside her sister, played by Ananya Shanbhag. The film explores themes of responsibility and survival. Executive producers include Priyanka Chopra and Anita Bhatia, with key contributors such as Suchitra Mattai, Mindy Kaling, and Ksheetij Saini. Despite its compelling narrative and strong backing, Anuja could not secure an Academy Award win but remains a powerful cinematic achievement.
