India is set to announce its official submission for the 97th Academy Awards, with the announcement scheduled for today. The selection determines which film will represent the country in the Oscars competition.
The reports note that India’s most recent submission was the social drama “Homebound,” starring Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa, which was sent last year to represent India at the Academy Awards stage. Across the available coverage, the focus is on the timing of today’s announcement and the reference point of the previous year’s selected film.
While the current information provided does not name the 2027 entry, it frames today’s announcement as the next step in India’s annual Oscars submission process, following “Homebound” in the prior cycle.
