[Watch] Akshay Kumar’s ‘Mission Raniganj’ An Independent Entry At Oscars 2024

New Delhi: Even though Akshay Kumar’s film ‘Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue’ that was released in theatres on October 6 and has not received an overwhelming response at the box office, the makers have independently submitted the movie for Oscars 2024.

The film features Akshay Kumar in the role of Jaswant Singh Gill, a real-life hero who saved 65 miners stuck inside a flooded coal mine in West Bengal’s Raniganj back in 1989.

The makers of the movie have now submitted it to the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts & Sciences, the body responsible for awarding the Oscars. However, being an independent submission, ‘Mission Raniganj’ will not be eligible to compete for the Best Foreign Film Award.

Like SS Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’, ‘Mission Raniganj’ will be able to compete across all other major award categories, including Best Picture and Best Director, News 18 reported.

Featuring Akshay Kumar, Parineeti Chopra, Kumud Mishra, Pavan Malhotra, Ravi Kishan, Varun Badola, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Rajesh Sharma, Virendra Saxena, Shishir Sharma, Ananth Mahadevan, Jameel Khan, Sudhir Pandey, Bachan Pachera, Mukesh Bhatt and Omkar Das Manikpuri, Mission Raniganj is an ode to the resilience, determination, and valour of the human spirit and engineering minds. The film also marks Tinu Suresh Desai’s second collaboration with Akshay after ‘Rustom’, which got the actor his first National award.
