Kannada film 'Bhuvanam Gaganam' set for monsoon release
Bhuvanam Gaganam, wrapped and set for a monsoon release, recently unveiled its teaser, launched by Dhurva Sarja. Bhuvanam Gaganam reminded me of the song from the Vamshi film starring Puneeth Rajkumar. The main reason Im here today is because of the technician Gireesh Mulimani, who worked as an associate director in Varadanayaka which starred my elder brother (Chiranjeevi Sarja) and Sudeep sir, and he is the director of this film. I have also worked as an associate with cinematographer Uday Leela in Bahaddur and Bhajarangi. I am glad to be part of the film with those technicians whom I was associated with in one way or another, and I am confident that they would have done an excellent job with Bhuvanam Gaganam, says Dhruva. The film has Pramod and Pruthvi Ambaar as leads. I havent done a full-fledged love story before, and that was one of the reasons Bhuvanam Gaganam caught my attention. We have completed shooting, and the post-production work is going on at a brisk pace. We have also begun the dubbing process, says Pramod. The film produced by Munegowda has Gireesh Mulimani writing the story and screenplay. Bhuvanam Gaganam is an emotional story that deals with love, romance and family. It is a story that unfolds in both urban and rural settings. Rachel David (Love Mocktail) and Ponnu Ashwathi play the female leads. Achyuth Kumar, Sharath Lohithashwa, Prakash Tumminadu, Siddlingu Shreedhar, Harini, Sparsha Rekha, Prajwal Shetty, and Chetan Durga will be seen in supporting roles. Gumineni Vijay is composing the music, with Sunil Kashyap in charge of the background score.

Rohit's hand will be on my shoulder through the season: MI captain Hardik Pandya
CHENNAI: In what was his first media interaction since being ruled out of the ODI World Cup last year, Hardik Pandya, the newly appointed Mumbai Indians captain, reaffirmed that his predecessor Rohit Sharma's hand will be on his shoulders through the upcoming IPL season. Sharma, who had been MI captain since 2013, was removed from the position after MI brought back Pandya from Gujarat Titans in an all-cash deal. Pandya was named the captain of the five-time champions shortly after. It also put a cloud over who will lead the country in the shortest format, especially with the World Cup around. Pandya had captained India in T20Is since the 2022 T20 World Cup, but Sharma had made a comeback in the format earlier in January. Ahead of the Rajkot Test against England, BCCI secretary Jay Shah cleared the air and announced that Sharma will lead the country in the upcoming global event scheduled to be played in United States and West Indies immediately after the IPL. This, once again, set off rumors about a rift between the two senior India cricketers. On Monday, in the pre-tournament press conference, Pandya said that he expects the dressing room environment to remain the same. It will not be any different, he will always be there to help me. You mentioned that he is the captain of the Indian team, which helps me because this team, what it has achieved, it has achieved under him, he told the media in Mumbai on Monday. ...from now onwards, it is (about) what he has achieved, I just have to carry forward that. I don't think it will be any awkward or any different. It will be a nice feeling because we have been playing for 10 years. I have played my whole career under him and he is going to have his hand on my shoulder throughout the season, Pandya added. Commandos to counter pitch invasion during IPL 2024 When asked if he has spoken with Sharma, Pandya said, Yes and no. He has been travelling and playing, before adding, We are professionals, by the time the team comes together...we have been playing cricket...it has only been a couple of months that we have not seen each other. Whenever the IPL starts, which is from today since we have the practice game, once he comes, we will definitely have a chat. Sharma joined the camp in the team hotel later in the evening. While the 30-year-old admitted and acknowledged the backlash and reactions from fans after he left the GT captaincy to take over from Sharma in MI, Pandya said he wants to focus on the job at hand. The backlash...To be very honest we respect fans but at the same time, we focus on the sport and what is required. I focus on the controllables and I do not focus on what I cannot control. At the same time, we are very grateful to fans. A lot of fame and love comes from them and they have every right and I respect their opinion, he said. The 30-year-old all-rounder whose fitness and form will be crucial not just for MI, but also for India in the T20 World Cup, said that he is keen to feature in all the games and will look to roll his arm as well. I have no issues with my body, I plan to play all the games. In IPL, I have not missed many games anyway. Technically, I was out for three months. It was a freak injury and it had nothing to do with my earlier injuries. I tried to stop the ball and ended up getting injured, said Pandya, who had injured his ankle during the World Cup game against Bangladesh in Pune.

IPL 2024: I Will Be Bowling This Season, Playing All 14 Matches, Says MI Skipper Hardik Pandya
ICC T20 World Cup: A bit agitated over the captaincy change, Mumbai Indians fans would at least have one thing to look forward to watching the upcoming 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) -- a vintage Hardik Pandya essaying his role as an all-rounder. Pandya, who is coming back from an injury that he suffered during India's match against Bangladesh during the 2023 Cricket World Cup in Pune in October, is fully fit and on Monday assured his fans that he would play all the 14 matches during the IPL and would be bowling as much as the teams needed him to. I got injured during the World Cup in October and initially, it was felt that it was just niggle and that I would recover in a few days. I went to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) to get it checked and to ensure that I was doing the right thing with it. But within a couple of days, my ankle had swelled into a big angle and then we realised that it would take time. It later recurred and kept me out for nearly three months as there was no cricket in two of those months. I did not want to play in the World Cup only 50% fit, said Hardik Pandya during Mumbai India's pre-season press conference here on Monday. Pandya said he is now fully fit and is looking forward to doing his bit for the franchise with which he started his IPL career in 2015. I will be bowling in the IPL. I have recovered fully from the injury and I am looking forward to contributing with both the bat and ball Though he loves to bat and finish games, Pandya said he enjoys being the all-rounder most and therefore is looking forward to contributing to the team's cause with both the bat and ball during the upcoming IPL. Pandya said his focus for the next couple of months will be only on Mumbai Indians and the IPL and he will not be thinking about the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup later this year. But said that if during the tournament, he comes across any performance worth remembering, he will take into account for the T20 World Cup. He said he will not be skipping any matches to preserve himself for the T20 World Cup, which will be started five days after the end of the IPL. I have rarely missed any matches in IPL and so I will be playing all 14 matches this season, said Pandya.

Interceptor 650 major service at an FNG for Rs 9000: List of jobs done
BHPian surjaonwheelz recently shared this with other enthusiasts.Interceptor 650, 4th year major service at Pitlane, PuneAnnual service was due and the bike had crossed 20k km. I had certain jobs in mind for the major service:Throttle body cleaningValve clearance checksBrake fluid replacement (flush/bleed)Motowings (MW) air filter cleaningEngine oil, Motul 7100 & RE oil filterMajor service which includes cleaning and lubricating moving parts etc.Brake pads had life in them and fork oils were changed last year. I took quotations from Pitlane and Hyperion and decided to go with Pitlane as it was nearby and was charging less. Hyperion has a sophisticated bike lift and working area but were charging double for throttle body cleaning and valve clearance checks. Now I have an understanding with the Pitlane folks and mechanics, they're available when I mess up with a DIY. They charged me around 9k all-inclusive for the service and spares. Only drawback was that they didn't do the valve clearance checks as there was no noise from them! Later I'll get this done with an oil change. This time I'll share only dirty pics of my bike. Stripped down. Half of the service work is taking out, cleaning, and putting it back. How meticulously it's done is the skill of the mechanic and the SOP of the garage. Dirty oil, 4k+ kms in 6 months, Liquid Gun from RE. Dirty MW air filter, it was very dirty. I'm using the the stage 2 kit, I'm not sure I'll continue with this setup. Should I? Dirty throttle body. Being cleaned in 4 years and 20k+ km As clean as it could be. Air filter cleaning kit from BMC but the mechanic said this filter doesn't need oiling as in the case of BMC filters. I didn't fully agree with the cleaning process as he used compressed air to remove the water after washing it under tap water. I checked the filter, gauge density was not disturbed though. Maybe 6 months later I'll return to a paper filter with a snorkel cover but the intake sound is addictive! Motul 7100 10W50 fully synthetic engine oil They charged for 3.1 litres so I didn't have to buy the the extra 900ml. Out of the block and doing 380kms riding in a day didn't feel any drastic change other than it being a new oil. I believe unless you move to the expensive imported oils, you don't get enough benefits. Oils like Silkolene, LiquiMoly, Putoline, Motorex and Amsoil. In addition, if you change the oil every 6 months with RE Liquid Gun, Motul 7100, Castrol Power1, Total Hi-Perf, Shell Long Ride then you're good too! I had this purchased in the last service from RE, the front master cylinder cover and got it changed. I forgot to collect the old one. For other service work, I didn't stay back.Spark plugs cleaned (fairly new Iridium plugs) - I saw it, no pics.Brake fluid bleeding - I can feel the change. INT650 has an issue with the rear master cylinder as the brake oil gets dirty even without much use. Bad plumbing or poor placement?Brake pads & calipers cleaning and caliper pin greasingWheel axle greasing - a bit too much, seen accumulated at the ends!Chain clean, adjust and lubeLubing moving parts such as footpegs, stand pivots etc.I didn't like them lubing the hand lever pivots, it's not required. I washed/wiped them off! We went for the same-day return beach ride after this service. The bike performed flawlessly. For the past few months, I've noticed that the RHS mirror has a buzz and the view is not clear. Earlier this was not the case. I wanted to post all the parts replaced/upgraded/added in 4 years in this post. Let's try this. Apart from the above, I've changed tyres twice and switched to alloys, that's a big investment! You can find separate posts for both in this thread. What next? Just ride! Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.

Honda Civic owner buys 2023 Safari facelift: 5 initial impressions
BHPian Enigmatic recently shared this with other enthusiasts. It's finally here! It was quite the journey to finalise which new car to buy. Started with the Seltos, then moved to the Tuscon and finally settled with the Safari. The overall experience from booking to delivery was pretty smooth. The folks at Puneet Motors were helpful throughout although a couple of things could have been better. Will pin the same down in the ownership experience. Coming to the Safari, it is a great car! It is quite a change from my current car (Civic) but I am enjoying it so far. Not having to calculate how to navigate speed bumps is a blessing. I would also like to point out a couple of issues I noticed.There is a bit of fogging in the rear connected DRL (see below picture). This was noticed during the PDI and I was assured that the same would be rectified before delivery but due to part unavailability, I was requested to take delivery with the promise that they would replace the part as soon as possible (hopefully within a week). The dealership was apologetic regarding the same but there is only so much they can do. Have been promised a complimentary Teflon coating for the trouble.The car seems to be a bit moody. The front park assist (FPA) does not always get activated. I tried getting uncomfortably close to cars parked in front however the FPA does not get activated every time. I believe this is a software issue and hopefully, an update will provide for better calibration. Have the owners encountered the same?Sometimes, the lock animation for the front DRL is too rushed. The corner DRLs are still completing the lock animation but the center DRL has already completed the same. It seems out of sync. Again this seems to be a software issue.The easy access feature of the front drive seat works occasionally i.e. the seats don't always slide down while opening the door to allow easy access to the driver. I also saw a random error Memory Seat Failure! Unable to select stored position, although this error did not impact the seat functionality or selecting the stored seat position. Again seems like a software issue.The infotainment system does not always play music in good quality. This one is difficult to explain but sometimes the music quality is very flat and without any bass (as if the amplifier has not kicked in). When the above scenario is experienced, changing the JBL music modes also does not make any change. This seems to go away on its own. I am hoping this is a software issue.Other than the above, mechanically, the car is perfect. I drove it on the new Atal-Setu bridge and it masked speeds effortlessly. The adaptive cruise control also worked like a charm. Hoping to have the above issues rectified at the earliest and do some serious mile-munching.

Careless tempo driver cuts into my lane at speed, pays the price for it
BHPian Rohitthebest recently shared this with other enthusiasts. If you observe our dash cam video, my wife was doing 100+ kmph coolly on our way to Bangalore from Pune two years back. She even overtook the truck from left side as the guy is driving on extreme right side since it comes in our vision. As she tries to go back to extreme right lane which is supposed to be the overtaking as well as faster lane, the small carrier on the centre lane decides to take the right lane without indicating or any need to go in that lane. If you see the highway ahead it is all clear and later on when he stopped after we hit him from behind, he mentioned that I was going to stop on the right side to drink water. Can you believe that? Right side and not extreme left. We approached the police right one KM ahead and looking at our MH12 Number he asked us to go on with our journey without filing complaint as we won't be able to attend the enquiry / court going ons in case it goes ahead. I too realised that I believe the cops with harass him for quick buck than actually doing anything about it. Lesson learnt: Always analyse the intention of the vehicle moving ahead of you to know in which direction they can move in the Free Highway World of ours and move accordingly. Here's what BHPian deathwalkr had to say on the matter:The response by the mini truck fellow should be engraved and framed in the hall of Top nonsense thoughts/actions on road!!! That said, just curious as to why no brake was applied and car didn't seem to slow down either till point of impact. Also just thinking aloud, after one overtaking on the left (thanks to lumbering behemoth on right), swerving onto right lane to overtake the mini truck on the middle lane seemed a bit circuit race style to me Again, just thinking aloud is all. Glad nothing untoward happened and guess the behemoth you overtook had enough time and space to brake and slow down after your accident.Here's what BHPian poised2drive had to say on the matter:I am afraid a part of it was your wife's Galti too . Regardless of that driver's careless veering to the right, continuing to be at 100 + kmph as you were approaching that vehicle (which never left the right most lane completely) was a judgmental error! Also I think she honked a bit a late to make that fellow realize the gravity of the situation! You should have slowed down a bit before trying to overtake ! 2 sec rule is gold standard especially at that speed! I am glad everything went okayHere's what BHPian n_naik had to say on the matter:I am not defending the tata ace guy here. But the poor guy didnt have your car on his ORVM till he initiated the lane-switching. It was only after he initiated, you guys appeared on his mirror out of the blue. Scary. If i was in his place, i would have made the car guys pay a heavy price. The only suggestions that i have for both the vehicles is: For tata ACE: 1) Keep an eye on IRVM too if possible. Cars disappearing suddenly on one mirror and appearing on the other at high speeds are always riskier. For car : 1) Always make sure that you stay on the front vehicle's ORVM for few seconds before overtaking them from any side. 2) Before initiating the overtaking, make sure that the front vehicle driver has seen you in the ORVM. This can be done by honking or flashing. But if you have followed the first step properly, you dont need this step since the driver would have seen you already before initiating the lane-switching. In other words, 'Be predictable' for the driver in front of you. Wishing you guys safe driving.Read BHPian comments for more insights and information.
