Vijay and Nayantara add attraction to IPL

The Chennai team of BCCI?s Indian Premiere League (IPL) has roped in two top stars from Kollywood to add colour to the team.

Chennai Super Kings formally embraced the glamour that cinema is believed to bring along by roping in two Kollywood biggies as its brand ambassadors. The leading young actor Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay and the hot girl of Kollywood Nayantara were officially announced as brand ambassadors of the team.

The announcement was made at a glittering function held in Chennai today (March 18). Vijay, who was present in the function said, ?I am thrilled to be part of the Chennai Super Kings. I am an ardent fan of cricket, thanks to my son, who is glued to the television set whenever India plays.?

He added that, ?To be part of our Chennai team is a delight for me and I hope that I can contribute my bit in my new role. All my fans and well-wishers too have a great passion for the sport. Let’s all join hands together and support Chennai Super Kings to ensure that namma team rocks?.

Nayantara, who is the other star ambassador, could not turn up for the event.

K Srikkanth, former Indian skipper and cricketing brand ambassador of Chennai Super Kings, was also present on the occasion.

IPL, the BCCI’s money-rich Indian Premier League, already has top Bollywood stars Sharukh Khan and Preity Zinta as popular franchises.
