The cricket fan in Sameera Reddy has come out in open at last. The actress hopes of owning an Indian Premier League (IPL) team in the future and says cricket and films are the two things she is passionate about.

“I would love to be associated with IPL. I’ll buy an IPL team some day. I am fond of both cricket and movies. These two things are my passions,” the ‘Varanam Aayiram’ girl says with a bright smile.

Sameera, who celebrated her birthday recently, hopes that the year ahead would take her to further heights, thanks to Ajith starrer ‘Asal’ in which she is an inevitable part. Interestingly, she took part in the shoot of the movie on her special day, without even taking a break.

Ask her why, she says: “How could I disturb others work in the name of my birthday? I had given my callsheet for the day (for ‘Asal’) already and I couldn’t cancel it just like that. Hence, I was shooting non-stop.”

Heaping laurels on Ajith, she says, “He is a man of discipline and dignity. One can’t find him wasting time unnecessarily. Even during breaks, he would keep himself occupied by doing something.”
