SHAH RUKH KHAN BACK AT CRICKET CREASE


Mumbai, India: February 1,2008-Shah Rukh Khan will be back at cricket crease without any controversies soon.A big question always hangs on Shah Rukh Khan’s head, whether his interest of watching cricket is linked to promoting his movie. It happened when Bollywood Superstar hugged the Indian Cricket Players under the glare of TV camera when they had won the Twenty20 World Cup under Dhoni’s captaincy.Shah Rukh Khan need not be apologetic any longer to go to a cricket match. For, he has, what some say, paid an obscene sum to buy the Kolkata team franchisee rights of the Indian Premier League (IPL) — promoted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). His co-promoters in the $75.09-million deal were his long-time friends — actor Juhi Chawla and filmmaker Jay Mehta.It is believed that Juhi Chawla and filmmaker Jay Mehta, lent their close cooperation to achieve this goal.
