Mumbai, Aug 29 (IBNS) Bollywood actor Salman Khan Saturday said he is keen to own a franchise at Indian Premier League (IPL) season three.
“I am serious about buying a team and have already met IPL chairman Lalit Modi over this,” said Khan.
Asked if he is an ardent cricket fan, he told NDTV, “I don’t follow cricket, but I will make a good team owner.”
However, Khan said his bidding for a team is ‘no way’ linked to his ‘rivalry’ with actorand Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) owner Shah Rukh Khan.
IPL will add 2 new teams to its existing 8 from the 2010 season. If Khan cracks the deal, he too will be seen cheering for his team like other Bollywod actors Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty.
However, it’s not just Khan, who has shown interest in buying a team for Twenty20. Actors Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan are reportedly eyeing a team each in the next IPL.
