Namit Malhotra, an Indian graphics and visual effects (VFX) engineer, is in the spotlight after the epic science fiction film _Dune_ won the 2022 Oscar in the "visual effects"


category on Monday, 28 March. His VFX company, DNEG, was one of the main contributors to the same. Malhotra works as the CEO of DNEG (Double Negative), which even led the VFX of the most


recent James Bond movie, _No Time to Die_. Even the Bond film was nominated in the VFX category for the 94th Academy Awards, but lost out to _Dune_. The company is also known for its work in


films and TV shows like The Dark Knight Rises, Sherlock Holmes, and Chernobyl. Anurag Thakur, the Minister of Sports, Youth Affairs and Minister of Information and Broadcasting in the Modi


government, also tweeted about Malhotra's success.
