HGH India has always acted as facilitator and catalyst of business growth and specific categories with high potential in the Indian market. Continuing these efforts for the benefit of both exhibitors and serious trade buyers, the 12th edition of HGH India will once again lay focus some specific categories with vast untapped business potential.  These are World of Sleep, Home Furniture, Smart Kitchen, Wall & Windows and Kids’ Home. 

Mr. Arun Roongta, MD, HGH India said, “An overwhelming response from retailers to the introduction of the new Spring/Summer season for sourcing by HGH India indicates the growing maturity of the Indian market for home products. With 20% increase in year-on-year demand, India is now considered the most lucrative market in the world, ahead of China, by several international brands and Indian exporters of home textiles, furniture, decorative accessories, and houseware products. With favourable demographics and increasing spending on their homes by consumers, the next decade will clearly belong to India. Market will sustain a minimum growth of 15% in a conservative scenario, which can go upto 30% year on year in some categories like wallpapers and kids' home categories.  Even mature categories like bed sheets will continue to grow at 12-15% yoy for the next decade.  HGH India will continue to act as a catalyst to this evolving business opportunity for players across the value chain in home categories.”

Amongst major firsts, the Italian national pavilion will have physical presence of 9 exhibitors under the aegis of Italian Trade Agency (ITA), who will showcase their well-designed range of home furniture, wooden flooring, wallpaper, interior concepts, and exquisite decorative accessories.

Italy is the 4th largest supplier of furniture to India, which is the fastest growing economy. Our participation in December 2021, was in the form of a Catalogue Display from 6 Italian companies, having a space of just 18 Sq. mtr. This time around we are covering an area of 137 sq. mtr having an Italian national pavilion with the participation from 9 Italian companies. Therefore, we are very upbeat regarding our participation and the Indian market as a whole”, said Mr. Alessandro Liberatori, Trade Commissioner / Director of the Italian Trade Agency, New Delhi  

Handicrafts, Handloom and Cottage sectors have been one of the biggest beneficiaries of HGH India, finding a long-term gateway to India’s national market.  More and more of such small manufacturers are getting connected to well-established offline and online retail chains year after year.  Over 70% of the 37,000 serious trade buyers from 550 cities and towns across India have made HGH India part of their annual calendar for sourcing, trends, and market information.  Of the top 100 retail chains and distributors in India in the home category (including offline & online retailers), 95% visit HGH India regularly.  Over 90% of HGH India visitors are senior decision makers.

*Pankaj Tripathi in Ravi Jadhav's directorial biopic of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee produced by Bhanushali Studios Ltd & Legend Studios*

 

Ever since the announcement of a film on our three-time Prime Minister was announced, it piqued the audience's interest to know who will be playing the role of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a leader par excellence. With Pankaj Tripathi joining hands with the makers of this film, the excitement within the audiences has raised a notch higher. The film will be helmed by three times National Award winner Ravi Jadhav, one of the renowned directors of the Marathi film Industry and written by Utkarsh Naithani.

 

‘Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon Yeh Desh Rehna Chahiye- ATAL’ revolves around the journey of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji, an honourable leader of India and one of the co-founders and a senior leader of the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP).

 

Speaking about playing Atalji, Pankaj Tripathi expressed, “It's my Honour to portray such a humane politician on screen. He was not just a politician but so much more, he was an excellent writer and a renowned poet. Getting to be in his shoes is nothing but a privilege for an actor like me.”

 

National Award Winner Director Ravi Jadhav mentioned, “For me as a director, I couldn’t have asked for any better story than that of Atalji. On top of this, having an exemplary actor like Pankaj Tripathi to bring to screen Atalji’s story and the support of the producers. I hope that I can live up to people’s expectations with ATAL.”

 

Producer Vinod Bhanushali shared, “Unanimously, we all had imagined Pankaj Tripathi playing Atalji since we began discussing the film. We are delighted to have one of India’s finest actors playing the part. We also have an exceptional director ‘Raviji’ on board who we are sure will bring the story of our exemplary leader beautifully.”

*Tusshar Kapoor prepped for days before donning the role of a cop in Maarrich;

*Tusshar Kapoor prepped for days before donning the role of a cop in Maarrich; went through various workshops, weight gaining programmes and  voice modulation course to portray the character*

Tusshar Kapoor is all set to come back in a different avatar with his upcoming  murder mystery, Maarrich. He is playing the role of a Senior Cop from Mumbai named Rajiv. It's after 18 long years that Tusshar Kapoor is returning as a cop and in a different avatar on the silver screen.  There is a lot of preparation he had to undergo to ensure he represents his character as close to a real life cop. 

The film is Tusshar Entertainment House’s second outing after Akshay Kumar starrer, Laxmii. Tusshar Kapoor transformed and groomed himself in various ways to ace his role as a Senior Cop in the murder mystery. He not only took various workshops he also put on weight and worked on modulating his voice. 

Speaking about his process of preparation for the film, he said, “I did a lot of preparation because I am playing a cop and a very different character compared to all the roles I’ve done earlier. I am playing a senior cop and he is a little overconfident, little brash, little too optimistic about himself and about the way he handles cases. At the same time, he is somebody who has an emotional core and he is also a family man, but he has his own sense of moralities and how he goes about this case is something that is very interesting in the film. I did some workshops to get into the skin of the character and I also gained, a couple of kilos to look like a realistic Mumbai Cop rather than a fit six-packed cop. I wanted to look real, so I gained around 10 pounds. For the dubbing of the film I did a voice modulation course to be able to bring some gravitas, base and heaviness to my voice, because this character has some age as compared to the kind of roles I’ve done in comedy films before.”

The film is helmed by Dhruv Lather and also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Rahul Dev, Anita Hassanandani and Dipannita Sharma in pivotal roles!

Tusshar Entertainment House Presents, in association with NH Studios, Maarrich is written and directed by Dhruv Lather, produced by Tusshar Kapoor, Narendra Hirawat, Shreyans Hirawat and co-produced by Girish Johar, Priyank V Jain. The film will release theatrically on 9th December 2022!

To increase the excitement amongst the audiences and to reach them personally, the makers have decided to have a multiple-city trailer launch. The star cast of Maarrich will launch their trailer in Mumbai, Indore, and then Lucknow, followed by a press conference in every city. 

Speaking about this, actor and producer Tusshar Kapoor expressed, “ We are extremely excited that the trailer will be launched in multiple cities. Maarrich is an edge-of-the-seat commercial film that will appeal to both, the masses as well as the classes, and launching it in multiple cities was the only way that we could do justice to the film. I want the film’s story to reach everybody and I hope the audiences welcome the trailer as well as the film with open arms and shower their love and support on us.”
