Kochi:
Ahead of the entry of the Kerala Strikers, comprising Malayalam actors, into the Celebrity Cricket League, the theme song, music video and website of the team has been launched here.
Indian cricketer S Sreesanth handed over the CD to Malayalam actor Prithviraj at a function here yesterday to mark the launching of the video. The website was launched by veteran actor-producer Thyagarajan.
Sreesanth said such a cricket league, which brings together film actors from various parts of the country, provided opportunity to the stars to get to know their counterparts from different film industries closely.
This is just like the IPL cricket matches in which players from various countries form a team, thus helping build friendships. In the last season, he had supported the Bangalore team, he said.
Prithviraj said the team cannot be taken lightly. Getting all the actors together, despite their hectic schedules, was by no means a small effort, he said. Team captain and Malayalam superstar Mohanlal was not present.
Arun G S, lead guitarist with AR Rahman's team, has composed the theme song featuring Mohanlal, Prithviraj, Kunchacko Boban, Lakshmi Rai, Bhavana, among others. The first match is slated to be held at Hyderabad on January 21 and the first home match would be held here on January 22 against the Bollywood team.
The finals are scheduled on February 12 at Hyderabad. Team owners Lissy Priyadarshan and Shaji P M were among those present.
