‘Box Cricket League International Edition’ canned
Here's the latest update from the world of Bollywood. We bet you wouldn't want to miss this. Read on for details... Ekta Kapoor’s plans come to a naught
Ekta Kapoor’s plans of taking Box Cricket
League (BCL) to an international level have been scrapped – and rather
unceremoniously.
SpotboyE.com has it that the league, which
was expected to kick off in San Francisco this weekend, has been cancelled.
Reason – unavailability of visas for certain players on time.
Hiten Tejwani, who is a part of Kolkata
Babu Moshayes, confirmed the news saying, “It was cancelled last night. Our
interviews with the US embassy were scheduled too close to the match
date. The paper work of other players was also not getting processed in
time.”
On being asked why the visa formalities
were left till the last minute, Hiten was evasive, “I have no clue.”
So has the tournament been cancelled for
now or has it been pushed? “As far as I know, it stands cancelled for now,”
said the actor.
However, Sunny Arora of Marinating
Films, who was the event organiser, had a different version. He said, “The
tournament has not been cancelled but pushed to a further date. The USA
event company is working on the logistic and venue for the new date.”
When asked why the visa was not organized
well in advance, an angry Sunny shot back, “Do you have a US visa?”
More than 50 TV actors including Karan
Wahi, Suyyash Rai and Kishwer Merchant were expected to be a part of the
tournament.
Interestingly, BCL 2, which was recently
telecast on Colors, had not really garnered impressive TRPs. But the
international version was planned as the organisers felt that it had a lot of takers in the international
circuit.
