Celebrities Face Legal Threat Over Cricket League

Actors and cricketers like Vijay Deverakonda and Mohammed Siraj face legal notices from TCA regarding the unapproved TG20 League. Learn more.

The Telangana Cricket Association (TCA) has taken legal action, issuing notices to several well-known personalities from the film and sports sectors. Among those reportedly named are actors Vijay Deverakonda and Venkatesh, alongside cricketers Mohammed Siraj, Tilak Varma, and Ambati Rayudu. These notices stem from concerns over the individuals' alleged connections to the proposed TG20 League.

The TCA has publicly questioned the legitimacy of the TG20 League, stating that it has not received approval from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The association also raised objections regarding the promotional methods employed for the league, suggesting that the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) may be collaborating with corporate entities without the necessary national authorization.

Furthermore, the TCA highlighted the impact of celebrity endorsements, asserting that such public support can significantly influence public perception and lend an unwarranted sense of legitimacy to unapproved events. As of the current date, neither Vijay Deverakonda nor Venkatesh have issued public statements regarding the notices or the allegations presented by the TCA. Meanwhile, actor Arnold Vosloo was recently announced as a cast member for Vijay Deverakonda's upcoming film 'Ranabaali'.
