Ravi Bhagchandka's 200 NOTOUT rolls out slate; to produce _Champions_ with Aamir Khan & Sony Pictures amongst various other projects

Ravi Bhagchandka's 200 NOTOUT rolls out slate; to produce _Champions_ with Aamir Khan & Sony Pictures amongst various other projects

Ravi Bhagchandka who produced the film _Sachin - A Billion Dreams_ is ready for many more offerings at the turnstiles. Ravi who is an avid golfer is teeing off with the film _Champions_, with Aamir Khan and Sony Pictures as producers alongside him. He also has a film adaptation of George McCutcheon’s 1902 book, _Brewster's Millions_ in the works. “We have already examined various drafts of the script; it's shaping up well and we should be able to kick that off soon. Apart from this, we are planning a political thriller web series based on one of Ashwin Sanghi's best-selling books. In the pipeline is another riveting film adaptation of the Argentinian bestseller novel, _All Yours_. This film is a co-production with Sagarika Ghatge Khan and is set to be directed by Kanishk Varma of _Inside Edge_ series fame. Besides this, we are also making a couple of entertaining sports-based reality shows which are in very nascent stages and a sports biopic that is sure to hit it out of the park!” reveals Ravi.

Ravi’s passion and commitment comes from being a sports professional for a decade and a half. A fan of Sachin Tendulkar since childhood, Ravi made a one-of-a-kind documentary, on the cricketing legend, which had an iconic theatrical release. Ravi’s admiration for Sachin is so much that even his film company is called 200 NOTOUT. “Our production 200 NOTOUT is dedicated to Sachin's highest score in the ODI. At that time, he was the only one to score a double ton, a feat that was almost unachievable! It was one of those moments that we thought would never happen again,” Ravi stumps us with his answer.

With his penchant for picking tales about the champions, Ravi Bhagchandka’s 200 NOTOUT is now thrilled to collaborate with the perfectionist Aamir Khan, after having previously won laurels with the master-blaster Sachin Tendulkar. Says Ravi, “Champions is not an out and out sports film. It has a human-interest story against the backdrop of sports.” While we know that Aamir Khan who was earlier also acting in the film to be directed by RS Prasanna, has taken a brief pause from acting, to produce it along with 200 NOTOUT and Sony Pictures, it was Ravi who had decided to pick up the rights of the Spanish drama. “We saw the film at the Berlin Film Festival and we really liked what we saw. It's about the individual challenges of the differently-abled and how they are living their lives. There are also a lot of heart warming and humorous moments in the film and that’s essentially what we liked most about the film,” adds Ravi.

Quiz him on who is playing the lead, now that Aamir is a producer on the film and Ravi has an answer ready, “As of now, we are still analysing and re-assessing the way ahead. We look forward to sharing some good news soon!” is all he offers.

Speaking about his third visit to India for the Red Bull Showrun, David Coulthard said, “It’s always good to be back in India. We truly appreciate the support the F1 fans of this country have always given us. It’s my third time here for the showrun and the enthusiasm in this country has only increased since my last visit. I look forward to being back in India again soon! It’s always a special feeling to drive a Formula One car for the sheer thrill of the fans and it was incredible to take the car for a spin at such an iconic location. What made this Showrun even more special was that we are the first team to have driven a Formula One car on the streets of Mumbai’s Bandra Bandstand. This city and its enthusiasm are something I will remember long after I return home.”

Super cars from the Super Car Club Garage, owned by industrialist Gautam Singhania, founder and chairman of Super Car Club of India, paraded the streets as an opening act for the Showrun. Lithuanian freestyle stunt biker Aras Gibieza performed some gravity-defying feats, followed by a special delivery for Coulthard that was fulfilled by Swiggy Instamart.

Speaking about the spectacular engineering of the RB7, Coulthard said, “If you look at the rear of this car (RB7) you can see how small and tightly packaged it is. It is a beautiful piece of engineering art. It is very nimble, feels like an extension of your body.”

Sameer Wankhede Has A Heart At The Right Place, Decides To Help The Poor Family of A Deceased Bihari Migrant Labourer

Sameer Wankhede has always been known as a officer who through his relentless efforts succeeded in breaking the backbone of drug mafias of Mumbai and helped many drug mafias and pedders rot in the jail durging his tenure as an NCB officer. He is also known to be a large-hearted man who always comes forward to help needy people. He once again proved that he has a heart in the right place by deciding to help the family of the deceased Bihari Migrant labour who died in a tragic mishap in Mumbai. He understands the concerns of the labourer class especially migrant labourers who live and work in extreme conditions and hence he decided that he is going to help the victims distraught family in his own individual capacity.

Currently working as the  Director of DGTS officer in Chennai, Sameer Wankhede when got to know that a Bihari Migrant labour had died after falling from a non-working lift in one of the buildings in Mumbai, he immediately gathered information about his family and his dependents. He was informed that Vinod has left 3 daughters, wife, mother and one unmarried sister behind him. After knowing the precarious financial status of the family, he monetarily decided to help the family. 

Interestingly, known to be an upright and large-hearted officer Sameer Wankhede is being praised by many Biharis for his praiseworthy step. Social activist Nilotpal Mrunal took to the social media to inform the world about his concerns and his financial help be provided to the victim's family.

Nilotpal Mrunal praised the large-heartedness of Sameer Wankhede and said, "When a Bihari migrant worker died a tragic death, no prominent fellow Bihari and no Bihari politician came in support of the family. But Sameer Wankhede, who is a  Maharashtrian and a Marathi, decided to help the victim's family and personally contributed a certain amount showing his immense concern towards the well-being of the family." 

Vinod Dhyani Sahu belonged to Darbhanga district of Bihar and the said incident occurred in Mumbai's Chembur area at Shweta Co-operative Society. As reported, the car lift of the society wasn't working and the contractor of the repair work called Vinod Shahu to help for repair work of the lift. But while he was checking what's wrong with the lift, he lost his balance and suddenly fell down to his death. The incident occurred due to the negligence of the society and the contractor but when the family of the victim reached police station to file an FIR, the police refused to do so. Later, Nilotpal Mrinal and many fellow Biharis protested against the lack of empathy shown by the police related to the case and finally the FIR was registered after much deliberation.
