ICL trying to romp top film stars: Kapil Dev


Top film stars could soon act as brand ambassadors of the Indian Cricket League and discussions for taking them onboard are going on, ICL's Executive Board Chairman Kapil Dev said on Tuesday.

"Yes, we are talking to some of the leading Bollywood personalities," Kapil said.

He, however, refused to divulge the details about who ICL was in discussion with or in what form the actors could associate with the rebel league.

"They can be our brand ambassadors or simply our supporters," he said.

Asked if filmstars Kareena Kapoor and Aamir Khan could associate with them, he said, "I cannot tell you anything right away.

"Whenever our talks mature and we have something concrete, we will let everybody know," he said.

When another ICL top executive, Kiran More was asked about possibility of Kareena and Aamir associating with them, he replied "I have heard about this from my media friends, but I cannot tell you anything definite."

On the poor crowd attendance in the second edition of the ICL's Twenty20 tournament underway here, Kapil said "crowds will come. The tournament is picking up. Moreover, students are busy with their examinations during this time of the year. But we hope they will come for the later matches."
