IndiaGlitz [Friday, March 28, 2008]

What happens when cricket weds cinema? Obviously more charm, fan-fare and glamour. It’s precisely what the Chennai IPL team – Chennai Super Kings has ventured to achieve.

After appointing ‘super hero’ Vijay and glam doll Nayantara as their brand ambassadors, the team is planning to shoot an anthem featuring the two in a bid to promote the team among the common-man.

To be assisted by cinematographer – director Rajeev Menon, the anthem would have musical score by Mani Sharma, who had rendered several chartbusters in Vijay films before.

To be shot soon, the anthem would also feature some players playing the team which includes the likes of M S Dhoni, Muthiah Muralitharan and Mathew Hayden among others.

Meanwhile, Nayantara expressing her delight appointed as brand ambassador for the IPL team, said, ‘I enjoy cricket. Been to cricket matches before and I follow cricket score even when I shoot. I admire Dhoni, who will be playing for Chennai Super Kings and of course the fast bowler from our God’s Own Country Sreesanth’.
