Possible Reasons for Amitabh Bachchan's Entry

It is looking to penetrate the US market with this new approval.

3. Dollar Appreciation: In FY15, company had a guidance of 25 percent growth which was missed primarily due to Dollar devaluation. But going forward, company is confident on meeting the targets due to Dollar appreciation.
