About Thalassemia
Thalassemia are inherited blood disorders. "Inherited" means they're passed on from parents to children through genes. It is very serious blood disease that begins in early childhood.
 Thalassemia causes the body to make fewer healthy red blood cells and less Hemoglobin than normal. Hence, people who have Thalassemia can have mild or severe anemia. If untreated, death is imminent.

Prateik Babbar will make his debut in a Bengali film, a socio-political drama on an issue that jolted the nation’s narrative in modern history. The actor stars in the film "AURONI TAUKHON", produced by Rahul Kapoor’s FAITH INCORPORATED MOVIES PVT  LTD & California based Sampoorna Entertainment and directed by Saurav Chakraborty, who assisted Ashutosh Gowarikar!
Director Saurav confirms  “Yes, it’s true that Prateik Babbar will debut in a Bengali film "AURONI TAUKHON", an epic saga love story set in the decade of two controversial issues that rocked the nation. It’s a journey of love between the time the Babri Masjid was demolished (1992) and Gujarat riots ( 2002). I wanted to portray on how communal conflicts haunts you, even if you are not actively affected by it.
 Prateik’s character is neither negative nor positive, but the film showcases the transformation after encountering adverse situations. Also since certain parts that will be shot in different cities, will have characters speaking in the local language”. The film stars Paoli Dam opposite Prateik and also has Indraneil Sengupta in a pivotal role.
Producer Rahul Kapoor adds “"AURONI TAUKHON" is epic saga love story and we are proud to have Prateik in the film. He is a terrific actor right from his debut film Jaane tu Jaane Na, which won him a lot of nominations and award. Prateik clearly has acting in his genes and is an actor of integrity, dedication, discipline and has the right sensibilities for the role of the protagonist.
What was important to Prateik was that the script and the role should be appealing enough to get into the skin of the character. We will shoot the film in Kolkata, Mumbai and Gujarat in the end of May, and even though the film is in Bengali, the film will have subtitles and will be dubbed in English for an international release. The English title is ‘TRYST WITH DESTINY’.
Mr. Rahul Kapoor’s –Faith Incorporate Movies Private Limited is a movie making company for content driven films venturing into different languages and genres. It has been also registered in Producers Guild of America and will soon be venturing into Hollywood cinema with a beautiful love story. It has just made an award winning Marathi film "JAI JAIKAAR" starring iconic theatre actor Shri Dilip Prabhavalkar, which has already bagged 6 international and 5 domestic awards and slated for a 6th June release. Besides the production house will be producing a Bollywood film to go on floors in July, which will be announced soon.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2™ BESTS PREVIOUS RECORD WITH HIGHEST HOLLYWOOD BOX OFFICE OPENING OF ALL TIME IN INDIA

ASM 2 - Email Signature
~ Grosses 41.7 crore in opening weekend ~
Bypassing the record set by its predecessor, The Amazing Spider-Man 2™ posted the highest opening in history for a Hollywood film in India. Sony Pictures India announced that the film grossed approximately INR 41.7 cr (USD 6.92 m) in its four day opening weekend starting May 1st with a final tally of 1523 screens – the widest release ever for a Hollywood film. The film also  registered the highest ever opening day gross for any Hollywood title when it opened on Thursday May 1st. It released in four languages – English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu and in 3D, 2D, IMAX 3D and in Dolby Atmos where available. 

Kercy Daruwala, Managing Director - Sony Pictures India said, “The Amazing Spider-Man 2 once again consolidates Spider-Man’s position as a franchise that cannot be beaten. We are happy to say that the film garnered unprecedented buzz in the weeks before release. We have taken a mass marketing approach to this film with some unique and very local innovations, further amplified with the invaluable support of the entire Sony group. Thanks to these innovations, the film has the fourth highest opening amongst all films, including local titles, released in India this year.”

“The film’s response has been excellent with many people calling it the best Spider-Man film ever and enjoying the spectacular 3D effects. We have some very good weeks ahead of us as we continue to reap the benefits of an open release period coupled with great word-of-mouth and repeat viewing,” he added.
 
Sequels to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 have already been announced for release in 2016 and 2018.

ABOUT THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.

It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield).  For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone).  But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city.  With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.
Sony Pictures India is the #1 Hollywood studio in India with four out of the top ten Hollywood films of all time in India including blockbusters like 2012, The Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man 3 and Skyfall.
