HYDERABAD: In a moment of pride for the Film Federation of India picked the survival thriller "2018: Everyone is a Hero" as India's entry for the 2024 Oscars in September 2023. The film, which had captivated audiences since its release in May 2023, brought joy to the entire team and garnered enthusiasm from film enthusiasts nationwide.
