About Cillian, Oppenheimer

Cillian’s film Oppenheimer, directed by Christopher Nolan, was crowned Best Picture at the Oscars. His blockbuster biopic got the Best Supporting Actor Award for Robert Downey Jr and the Best Director for Nolan.

In anointing Oppenheimer, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences did something it hasn’t done for more than a decade: hand its top prize to a widely seen, big-budget studio film. “For better or worse, we’re all living in Oppenheimer’s world,” said Murphy in his acceptance speech. “I’d like to dedicate this to the peacemakers.”

Sunday’s Oscars at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles unfolded against the backdrop of wars in Gaza and Ukraine and with a potentially momentous US election on the horizon. Awards for the documentary winner, 20 Days in Mariupol, and best international film, The Zone of Interest, brought geopolitics into the Oscar spotlight.

Yami’s recent film

Fans saw Yami last in the action-packed political drama Article 370. The film is directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale. Apart from Yami, the film also stars Priyamani. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dhar. It released in cinemas on February 23.

Yami and her husband, Aditya Dhar, are all set to embrace parenthood. The couple, who tied the knot in 2021, announced the news of pregnancy at the trailer launch of their film. Yami and Aditya got married in a private ceremony on June 4, 2021, in Himachal Pradesh.
