Writing With Fire

'. It has been nominated for the

at the Oscars 2022.

Oscar

nomination! @kl_meera @suneetaprajapati7 @rintuthomas @mentalsyrup." Have a look:

The film chronicles the rise of Khabar Lahariya, India's only newspaper run by Dalit women. The documentary is directed by Rintu Thomas and Sushmit Ghosh, also debutants. The film follows this ambitious group of Dalit wonder women - led by their chief reporter, Meera - as the team switches from print to digital in order to stay relevant. Armed with smartphones and the courage and conviction one must be born with, they investigate the incompetence of the local police force, listen to and stand by victims of caste and gender violence, and challenge long-standing, harmful practices that lead to injustice and intimidation.

Earlier, a lot of celebs like Parineeti Chopra, Farhan Akhtar, Ali Fazal, Onir and others were seen congratulating the makers for Oscar nomination. The ceremony will be held on March 27.

Meanwhile, Priyanka will be soon seen in 'Jee Le Zara' with Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt. The film will be directed by Farhan Akhtar.
