His latest film, Papa Buka, as co-producer, has been selected as Papua New Guinea’s official entry for the 98th Academy Awards (Oscars) 2026 in the Best International Feature Film category. This is the first-ever film made jointly by India and Papua New Guinea (PNG). It tells a powerful and emotional story about Indian soldiers who fought in PNG during World War II and were buried there, far away from home. The plot is inspired by the real-life visits of Indian leaders— President Pranab Mukherjee in 2016 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2023—to PNG’s Bomana War Cemetery. Many Indian soldiers who died during the war were buried there, but their stories were never told.
