The Academy has invited a diverse group of artists and industry professionals from across the globe this year, acknowledging their significant contributions to cinema. Khurrana joins an international list of invitees, including Gillian Anderson, Ariana Grande, Kamal Haasan, Mikey Madison, Jeremy Strong, and Kieran Culkin.
In a joint statement, Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang said, “We are thrilled to invite this esteemed class of artists, technologists, and professionals to join the Academy. Through their commitment to filmmaking and to the greater movie industry, these exceptionally talented individuals have made indelible contributions to our global filmmaking community.”
Throughout his career, Khurrana has taken on films that explore subjects such as gender identity, body image, caste discrimination, and unconventional relationships, often sparking social conversations through mainstream cinema. His projects have been widely discussed for addressing issues that are often underrepresented in popular Indian films.
Khurrana’s work has also gained global attention. He has been recognised by TIME Magazine twice—first, in its TIME100 list of the World’s Most Influential People, and later, with the TIME100 Impact Award in 2023.
In addition to his acting career, Ayushmann serves as a UNICEF India National Ambassador, focusing on child rights and protection. His invitation to join The Academy is seen as another step in his growing international presence, aligning him with artists who have influenced the global film industry.
Currently, the actor is gearing up for one of the biggest and most anticipated releases Thama this Diwali, featuring him alongside Rashmika Mandanna for the first time. The supernatural horror comedy is an essential part of the Maddock world that compromises films like Stree and Bhediya.
