'Saina' was about to be shelved four times: Amole Gupte

·2-min read

Mumbai, Mar 8 (PTI) Filmmaker Amole Gupte on Monday said he is relieved that his upcoming ambitious project 'Saina', a biopic on ace badminton player Saina Nehwal, is ready for a theatrical release after almost getting shelved multiple times in the past.

The project was first announced in 2017, with actor Shraddha Kapoor attached to play the titular role.

While the preparations were on in full swing, 'Saina' hit a roadblock when Kapoor bowed out of the project. In 2019, actor Parineeti Chopra came on board to play the part.

During the trailer launch of 'Saina', Gupte acknowledged the support of producer Bhushan Kumar, who held on to the film even when it was heading to be put on the back burner.

'I cannot forget the solid, rock like support of Bhushan Kumar. The film was about to be shelved four times. He would ask me, 'Don't we have to (make the film)? I'm here.' 'That's the strength of the man who stood behind me. Otherwise we wouldn't have reached this (stage) today,' the director told reporters here.

At the trailer launch, also attended by Chopra, when Gupte was asked the reason behind Kapoor's departure from the film, the director said he cannot talk much as he has recently recovered from COVID-19.

'What did you say? I couldn't hear. I can't answer this question, I am shivering,' he quipped and asked to move on to the next question.

The film marks Gupte's return to direction, four years after his last feature 'Sniff'.

The director has previously helmed acclaimed films like the sports-drama 'Hawa Hawai' (2014) and the 2011 hit 'Stanley Ka Dabba'.

Gupte said he was attached to 'Saina' the moment producer Sujay Jairaj approached him after buying rights to Nehwal's life for a screen adaptation in 2015.

The story of Nehwal's rise as a girl from a middle class family in Haryana to becoming the World No 1 badminton player was fascinating, the director added.

'Imagine the quantity of emotion in a life story where a simple lower middle class mother and father from Haryana bring up a girl who becomes World No 1. It had a lot of emotions,' Gupte said.

He said the family's emotional journey struck a chord with him, something he has attempted to chronicle in the film.

'If there's harmony in a family, the ups and downs of emotions can be recorded, observed, put on paper like a poet, a playwright, lyricist or a filmmaker.

'I never marketed my life. I am not making a product but films, which are my passion...' he added.

'Saina' is scheduled to be released on March 26.

The film also stars Meghna Malik and Manav Kaul. PTI JUR RDS RDS

These are used to keep track of a patient's condition before or after a medical diagnosis. Pulse oximeters are used in hospital settings, at home, and in medical emergencies. The market is expected to be driven by factors such as an increase in the geriatric population, a shift toward home monitoring, an increase in the incidence rate of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disorders and obesity, and increased patient knowledge of advanced pulse oximeters. However, in low- and middle-income countries, a lack of understanding about these devices stifles market development. The incorporation of artificial intelligence in pulse oximeters is expected to increase demand for these devices in the home and in hospitals in the coming years. With the increased use of mobile-based platforms and wearable devices to determine the degree of oxygen saturation in patients, the demand is increasing. Furthermore, developments in microprocessor technology, as well as advancements in LED and photoelectric sensors, have improved pulse oximeter precision and reliability.

The governments in the GCC Countries have tried to increase the market share of private sectors in the industry by implementing initiatives like 100% foreign ownership. Furthermore, favorable demographics like majority of population in the school going age, rising expatriate population as a result of government policies providing 10-year residency visas and higher GDP per capita are also driving the demand for education in the GCC. The governments in the GCC region are also continuing to allocate sizable portions of their budget to the education sector.As a result, the K-12 private education market has gained prominence over the past few years and has become an attractive opportunity for investors and school operators. This had led to a direct impact on the investments from the private sector to capitalize on government’s initiatives across the region.Improvement in the Quality and Availability of Higher Education OptionsIn today’s world, with the steady growth of awareness among parents, educational institutions, and investors, about the need for primary education, there is a major demand for high-quality education, which will boost the tuition fees of private schools.

Based on the Global Competitiveness Report 2017-2018 published by World Economic Forum (WEF), Qatar and the UAE lead their GCC counterparts based on the quality of primary education, ranking 10th and 16th on the global scale, respectively. However, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Kuwait are ranked much lower than their regional counterparts.Competitive LandscapeThe industry is quite fragmented, with many players operating in the private sector and many more entering, due to favorable investment options.

    <p>The Coronavirus spread has forced many routines, as well as important annual events, to go on hold; definitely or indefinitely. However, talking about the matrimonial match-making industry; it has only seen a steady rise, in fact of up to 30%-40%; despite, or rather because of the pandemic and the resulting lockdown. Sharing more insights on the subject, Mr. V.B. Jatwani, the founder-director of Golden Matrimonial Services, Delhi, says, “In past one year, we have seen a major increase in the number of people contacting us for the matrimonial services. It was probably so, because of time on their hands, allowing them to dedicate more effort to this important task. 2020 has been a year, which has allowed parents to search for life partners for their children more aggressively. In fact, the trend shows even eligible singles themselves proactively involved in their search for the right bride or groom.” This increasing trend in matrimonial searches stands true across all castes, communities, religions, and cities; owing to the technology that has become a part and parcel of our daily lives. The true advantage of technology can be witnessed in the matrimonial industry in the year 2020, and still in 2021. Almost 40% of matrimonial meetings have been made possible by virtual platforms, via video calls; using apps such as zoom and Google meet. And it doesn’t stop there!

  • Worldwide Bakery Products Industry to 2026 - Europe Dominates the Consumption of Bakery Products

    Dublin, April 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Bakery Products Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global bakery products market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% during the forecast period, 2021-2026.COVID-19 has made a significant impact on the bakery products market as due to the insufficient sale of bakery products during the peak time of the coronavirus pandemic, as many of the bakers have shut operations, which also includes the shortage of labours. Along with this, disruption in logistics facilities due to the lockdown has created more issues in the market as consumers were not getting products as per their requirement which ultimately affected the market. Another factor that has created an impact on the market is the lack of raw material availability due to which production of products was not proper. Due to these issues, smaller bakers in the unorganized segment are the worst affected, as stated by the All India Bread Manufacturers Association.Bakery products have long been basic food products for human nutrition. The convenience, accessibility, and nutrition profile associated with them are the major factors of their sustenance in the modern market. Their significance as a major portion of diet has been prevalent in middle to lower-income group countries. Bread has been a staple diet of many local cuisines worldwide and has shown remarkable growth even during the period of global economic crisis.The rising trend of "Natural nutrition", "healthy living" and "organic products" has significantly raised the consumers' demand for whole wheat, light, natural and additive-free bakery products. In recent years, the growth in sales of packaged, whole wheat, wholemeal, gluten-free and natural products is an important indication of this new and healthy living sense in the market studied.Key Market TrendsSurge in Demand for Free-From Food ProductsThe rising demand for free-from food products particular gluten-free products is not only followed by coeliac patients, but also by the general health-conscious public holding the belief that gluten-free, sugar-free products will help them overcome problems related to bloating, indigestion, obesity, diabetes, many other health problems. Thus, bakery products with claims such as fat-free, sugar-free, gluten-free, whole wheat, and salt-free are gaining popularity among the health-conscious consumer category.Moreover, according to the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, United Kingdom, the free-from food market is expected to record an average growth of 10% every year for the next three years, and the share of bakery products and cookies in the free-from food category is around 35%. This, in turn, is indicating a lucrative market opportunity for free-from bakery products.Europe Dominates the Consumption of Bakery ProductsEurope accounts for the largest revenue share in the global bakery products market. The developed markets of Western Europe in bakery products are matured and saturated compared to emerging markets of Eastern Europe, which are driving the sales of biscuits and breads in particular, owing to the high demand for convenient food products.The European bakery markets are well-established in terms of the supply chain, product array, distribution channels, and consumer preferences. Innovations and new product development are increasingly observed in the indulgence-categories, like cakes, pastries, and cookies. The traditional morning goods in Europe are witnessing the rise of gluten-free, whole grain, ancient grain, and additive free products, which have the potential of higher sales, with the growing demand for instant and nutritious baked products.Competitive LandscapeThe global bakery product market is a highly competitive market, particularly with the significant presence of numerous global and regional players.
