The Producers Guild Film Awards, previously known as the Apsara Awards, is an award event hosted by the Producers Guild of India to recognize excellence in Hindi film and television.[1] Originated by filmmaker and scholar Amit Khanna in 2004,[2][3] the Guild Awards were one of the major award events from 2004 till 2016, when the last awards ceremony happened.[4] The 22-karat gold statuette was sculpted and designed by the jewellery brand Tanishq and was "inspired by the rich heritage of one of India's most treasured possessions – the Ajanta and Ellora Caves."[1] Nominations for the awards come from selected members of the guild, with the full membership (around 160) available to vote for the winners.[4] The ballots cast by the guild members are then taken to a common venue for the final counting.[2]
