The announcement comes at a busy time for the Dharma Productions head. While the filmmaker had not too long ago been celebrating the large box-office success of Bollywood’s latest hits, Dhurandhar and Border 2, the past week also introduced the frustration of the Oscar nominations.
Homebound, a social drama directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and backed by Johar, had been a strong contender, even making the top-15 shortlist in December. However, when the ultimate 5 nominees for Best International Feature Film had been announced on January 22, the movie was notably absent.
Despite the snub, Johar had publicly stood by his director, writing on social media last week, “Proud!!! Love you Neeraj Ghaywan for allowing us to bask in your light!” He additional called the movie one of the “finest and most important films India has ever made.”
While Johar didn’t explicitly hyperlink his break to the Oscar outcomes, his post talked about a want to keep away from “doom scrolling”—a time period used for the act of constantly consuming news online.
