Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit and Shah
Rukh Khan are amongst 20 other Indian
personalities who have been invited by
the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences.
As well as these three names, Madhabi
Mukherjee, Soumitra Chatterjee,
Naseeruddin Shah, Ali Fazal and Tabu are
the Indian actors on the list, while Aditya
Chopra and Guneet Monga are the Indian
producers selected. Cinematographer
Anil Mehta, costume designers Dolly
Ahluwalia and Manish Malhotra, sound
designers Debajit Changmai and
Biswadeep Chatterjee, production
designers Subrata Chakraborty and Amit
Ray, music composers Usha Khanna and
Sneha Khanwalkar and film editor Ballu
Saluja have also been sent an invite.
Last year Aamir Khan, Priyanka Chopra,
Irrfan, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika
Padukone, Aishwarya Rai, Mrinal Sen and
Goutam Ghose and Sooni Taraporevala
were invited by The Academy from India.
"It's interesting that though (past
Indian) winners were Indian, it was for
their work in international films
largely about India, but not made by
India. For a global community like India
to be represented on a larger scale, I
think it will have to move beyond a
single award for all foreign language
films. It is very rare to see foreign
language films represented in the other
categories, Chopra was quoted as
saying by TheQuint after accepting the
invitation.
