Hot Sexy Sirens Sonakshi Sinha, Kangna Ranaut, Charmee, Richa Gangopadhyay, and Sameera Reddy are busy posing for sizzling pictures that promise to capture their curves, against the backdrop of exotic Goan beaches and other tourist spots, for the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) calendar.
This picture-perfect calendar will be included in the promotional blitz to be unleashed by the CCL to generate a buzz for their second season to be held in Sharjah. With Sonakshi and Kangna being brand ambassadors for Mumbai Heroes; Charmee, Sameera and Richa will be ambassadors for the Telugu, Tamil and Kannada teams. “We have roped in actresses who are equally popular in the Tamil, Telugu and Kannada film industries and no doubt, this calendar is going to be too hot to handle,” says a source from the Telugu team.
Salman Khan has already announced that Mumbai Heroes would bounce back in Season 2, at the CCL launch in Dubai. It seems that tempers are heating prior to the tournament in Sharjah Cricket Stadium (January 13 to January 14), and viewers will now have to fasten up their seat belts for an exciting T-20 tourney that promises glitz and glam.
“I’ll be there just for a day to pose for some pictures and the calendar is really going to sizzle with so many hot babes, I bet. After all, Venkatram, one of my favourite photographers is shooting it,” says Charmee. She adds that there is no possibility of rubbing shoulders with other actresses like Sonakshi and Kangna, since, “All the girls are shooting individually, so unfortunately, I won’t get to interact with any of them.”
Kangnajoins Sonakshi Sinha and Genelia D’souza as Salman Khan’s entourage of brandambassadors for his brother Sohail Khan’s celebrity cricket team Mumbai Heroes.
However, her inclusion comes as a surprise as she seems clueless about the gameor any kind of sport. She earnestly says, “To be honest, I don’t know muchabout cricket. I was a science student, so I never got much time to play. I’mhere to support my friends who are playing for the team,” she says.
However, she is enthusiastic about endorsing the team and says she will cheerfor them. “I will dance on Salman’s Mein Karu Toh Sala Character Dheela Haifrom the movie Ready and Saadi Gali from Tanu Weds Manu,” she says.
While the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) had a good run last year, MumbaiHeroes didn’t win any matches. The team’s captain Suniel Shetty informs, “CCLis now a bigger franchise and will be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium,UAE on January 13.
Mumbai Heroes is slated to play two games there after the opening ceremony.”The brand ambassadors will be present in Sharjah for these matches.
The other teams include Chennai Rhinos lead by South superstar Surya, KarnatakaBulldozers by Kiccha Sudeep and Telugu Warriors under captain Venkatesh leads,with an addition of two new teams — Kerala Strikers co-owned by National Awardwinner Mohanlal, director Priyadarshan and (his wife) Lizzy, and Bengal Tigersowned by Boney Kapoor and Sridevi.
