The Second Wind is the debut production of filmmaker Indira Baikerikar. An athlete for the past 13 years, she recently explored theatre with Rangshila Theatres. As she performed on stage, her love for writing grew. Sports has always been her passion, and she wanted to share this incredible journey with the world through the real stories of two athletes. Their stories are deeply heartfelt, and she hopes the audience will witness their journey and experience their transformation firsthand. The film features an all-women cast, portraying the stories of four women. Notably, the director, writer, and producer-Indira Baikerikar herself-is also a woman. Authenticity is at the heart of the film, featuring real races as part of the story. The cinematography beautifully brings the narrative to life, capturing real-time locations and transforming them into a visual masterpiece. The music is organic, composed and launched for the first time by the artist, adding a unique touch to the film. Recognizing the power of this womencentric, inspiring film, the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPAA) has recommended The Second Wind for showcasing and marketing at the Cannes Film Festival. Alongside the film, Indira Baikerikar's book, also titled The Second Wind, will be launched at the festival. The purpose behind both the film and the book is to inspire the 99% of the world-across different generations-who may be unaware of the importance of mental and physical fitness. Through her own experience with sports, Indira has learned the value of reinventing one's passion, and she hopes to pass on this message to the world: "Nothing in life is over until it's done.
