Suriya starrer Soorarai Pottru was a part of India’s official entry to Oscars 2021. His famous courtroom drama Jai Bhim (2021) was also shared on the Oscars' YouTube channel under the section, ‘Scene at the Academy.’ The documentary filmmakers Sushmit Ghosh and Rintu Thomas, whose film "Writing with Fire" garnered an Oscar nomination earlier this year, are among the other Indians who received the invitation this year.
