Oscar Winner Resul Pookutty Urges Youth to Identify Their Talent and Pursue a Career in That Area

Every child possesses some form of talent, and if they pursue their passion with dedication in their chosen field, success is inevitable. This was the message shared by Oscar-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty during his interaction with the media at the three-day ‘Delhi Creators Summit,’ organized by the Indian Institute of Creative Skills (IICS). Pookutty, who won an Oscar for sound design in Slumdog Millionaire at the age of just 37, emphasized that young people should strive to turn their passion into a profession. He also noted that the Government of India recognized the importance of skill development as early as 2012 and began working towards this goal.
Pookutty further explained that while every child is unique, many struggle to recognize their own talents. Often, due to societal or family pressures, they do not receive the opportunity to nurture their abilities. He highlighted that the collaboration with the Government of India is focused on skill development to help young people discover and cultivate their potential. He advised the youth to first evaluate their interests before choosing a career path, as selecting a profession aligned with their passion will allow them to excel and succeed.
It is also important to note that the Indian Institute of Creative Skills (IICS), with support from the Government of India, is soon to be formally inaugurated. During this announcement, Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO of the National Skill Development Council (NSDC) and Managing Director of NSDC International (NSDCI), addressed the media, sharing that the institute’s mission is to uncover the inherent potential in every child across the country and present it to the world.
Providing more details about the Indian Institute of Creative Skills (IICS), Mr. Tiwari highlighted that the institute offers world-class facilities. It is equipped with top-tier mentors, and most importantly, it is part of the Skill India Mission. Those who acquire skills here will receive certificates from Skill India. A wide range of skills will be taught under one roof, and in the future, similar institutes will be established across the country.
Dr. Mohit Soni, CEO of the Media and Entertainment Skills Council (MESC), congratulated the participants of the three-day ‘Delhi Creators Summit.’ He emphasized that IICS stands out due to its world-class infrastructure and professional trainers. He believes that the institute will undoubtedly succeed in providing a global platform for individuals aspiring to build a career in the film and media industry.
Dr. Mohit Soni emphasized that students at IICS will have the opportunity to build successful careers through specialized training in various fields, including the School of Performing Arts and Media Management, School of Sound and Music Production, School of New Age Media, School of Creative Communication, School of Digital Content Creation, and School of Events and Experiential Media.
Film producer and IICS Chief Mentor Ketki Pandit shared her perspective, stating that every video creator is, in essence, a filmmaker. IICS aims to nurture their talents, enhance their technical expertise to meet global standards and offer them employment opportunities through our projects, empowering them to achieve financial independence and stability.
Yasmin Rogers, a renowned makeup artist with significant experience in Bollywood and international cinema, highlighted a gap in the industry—there is a shortage of professional makeup artists available for outdoor film shoots. As an IICS mentor, she emphasized that the institution will provide employment opportunities to youth trained here, both nationally and internationally, while also ensuring the quality of their training is up to industry standards.
Dr. Akhil Kumar, speaking about the ‘Delhi Creators Summit,’ shared that the event brought together creators with a wide range of follower counts, from those with millions of followers to those with just a few thousand. This diverse participation created a unique learning environment, allowing attendees to share insights on personal growth and development. He also noted the growing support from the government for social media creators. Over 80 creators participated in the summit, with many more eager to join in future editions. With a following of 1.5 million, Dr. Kumar expressed IICS’s commitment to continuing to support youth development through such events.

Historic Screening of Kesari Chapter 2 Hosted by Advocate Vineet Dhanda Unites Over 1,000 Legal Luminaries to Honour India’s Legal Legacy

New Delhi. In a landmark event celebrating India’s rich legal heritage, Advocate Vineet Dhanda—Supreme Court counsel and Standing Counsel for the Central Government at the Delhi High Court—hosted an exclusive screening of the newly released film Kesari Chapter 2 in New Delhi. The event drew an unprecedented gathering of over 1,000 members of the legal fraternity, including Hon’ble Judges of the Supreme Court and Delhi High Court, Additional Solicitor Generals of India, and senior Standing Counsels representing the Government of India.
Also in attendance were the President, Vice President, and distinguished members of the Supreme Court Bar Association, the Delhi High Court Bar Association, and representatives from various District Court Bar Associations, making the evening a rare and powerful moment of unity within India’s legal community.
The gathering commenced with a solemn one-minute silence in remembrance of the victims of the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam—an expression of collective mourning and national solidarity.
Starring Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, Ananya Panday, and Amit Sial, Kesari Chapter 2 explores a stirring chapter from India’s colonial history: the legal crusade launched by Indian lawyers against the British Empire following the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The film highlights the brave legal efforts to bring imperial injustice to account, portraying courtrooms as battlegrounds of resistance and valor.
Addressing the gathering, Advocate Vineet Dhanda—who also serves as Chairman of the National Anti-Doping Agency’s Disciplinary Committee and is a former Assistant Solicitor General of India—remarked:
“This is not just a film screening; it is a historic congregation to honour the unsung legal heroes of India’s freedom movement. Kesari Chapter 2 reminds us that justice was fought for not only on the streets, but also in the courts. The film is a stirring tribute to the courage and intellect of those who challenged colonial injustice within the framework of law.”
Actor R. Madhavan, who plays a pivotal role in the film, shared his heartfelt gratitude:
“I really appreciate Mr. Vineet Dhanda and his family for this great initiative of showcasing patriotic Indian movies. I think it’s a phenomenal move, and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our honourable judges, learned Additional Solicitor Generals, Standing Counsel for the Government of India, along with the esteemed members of the Supreme Court, Delhi High Court, and other District Bar Associations. This has been a big passion project for all of us involved, and I really hope all of you are as touched by this film as we were while making it.”
Actress Ananya Panday also expressed her admiration for the event and its purpose:
“I appreciate Vineet Sir and his family for this great initiative of showcasing patriotic movies. I welcome the esteemed members of the Supreme Court, Delhi High Court, and other District Court Bar Associations. God bless and Jai Hind.”
The screening served as a powerful tribute to the forgotten warriors of India’s legal history, inspiring a renewed sense of purpose and pride among today’s legal custodians.
