Hyderabad: In a groundbreaking achievement, Indian filmmaker Payal Kapadia has become the first Indian director to be nominated for Best Director in 25 years at the prestigious Golden Globe Awards. Kapadia's nomination for her film All We Imagine As Light marks a significant milestone in Indian cinema. Earlier, Indian filmmaker Shekhar Kapur was nominated in the Best Director category at the Golden Globe for his film Elizabeth back in 1999.
Kapur's nomination was a historic moment for Indian cinema, and Kapadia's achievement is a continuation of that legacy. Apart from the Best Director nomination, Kapadia's film has received another nomination for Best Motion Picture - (Non-English Language). This achievement is a testament to Kapadia's exceptional storytelling and direction.
The film stars Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, and Hridhu Haroon, all hailing from Kerala. The story follows Prabha, a troubled nurse who receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband, and Anu, her young roommate seeking intimacy with her boyfriend.
