After Salman, Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan eye IPL team

With IPL turning out to be a major money spinner, Bollywood celebrities are keen to make big bucks by buying cricket teams. According to latest Bollywood news, it is believed that B-town hunk Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan are eager to buy Ahemdabad IPL cricket team.

Talking to a newspaper, a close source confirmed the news of Sanjay and Ajay planning to buy an IPL team. "They have decided to own a team together as they are ardent cricket fans. They are keen to own the Ahmedabad team. Since Ajay was busy travelling, he informed Sanjay about being unable to meet IPL Commissioner, Lalit Modi. It was Sanjay who met Modi and expressed their interest to own a team. Modi and Sanjay met at a suburban five-star on Wednesday to understand the bidding process. Sanjay made it very clear that whenever the auction begins, they are ready to invest in the Ahmedabad team," the source said.

However, when Dutt met Lalit Modi at a posh Mumbai hotel, the actor was taken by complete surprise as he had no idea that media would be waiting for him at the same venue. It is believed that media is informed every time a Bollywood star wishes to buy an IPL team. The source maintained, “The idea is to let it be known that big stars are getting progressively involved with the IPL. That attracts more money, eyeballs and junta interest. So on Wednesday evening when Dutt reached the Hyatt he was taken aback to see media persons swarming the place. His first impulse was to flee.”

However, it is believed that the meeting between Dutt and Modi was a great success where the former discussed his curiosities about buying an IPL team. The source added, “Sanjay’s main concern was, would he be able to buy the team because of his court cases? There are many things that he can’t do, like endorsements, etc. Sanjay was assured there would be no problem. With the removal of TADA charges Dutt now has rights equal to every other Indian citizen.”

After Shah Rukh, Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty dabbling in IPL, it’s Sanjay and Ajay’s turn to invest in an IPL team!

Romance is what I enjoy the most: Salman Khan

The 43-year-old actor who is returning to the action genre after a long gap with `Wanted`, directed by Southern superstar Prabhu Deva, says that the preparation for the role was a painful journey.

"Usually I don`t need to prepare for action, it`s in-born but this time the return to action was very painful. It was difficult because we haven`t used much of cables. I even suffered a ham-string injury during the shooting of the film," said Salman who was in town to promote the film.
