Trisha too pricey?
The Indian Premier League matches are due to start on April 18th. The Chennai team, going by the name Chennai Super Kings, is captained by M.S. Dhoni and owned by India Cements.
The brand ambassadors for the team are Vijay and Nayantara. The buzz is that when Trisha was approached, she quoted an exorbitant sum, some say to the tune of Rs. one crore. When the franchisers heard this rate, they dropped her like a hot potato. They then opted for Nayantara, who agreed to the amount the franchise quoted.
All is fair in cricket and business. Right now, the theme song of Chennai Super Kings is being composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar and lyrics by Vairamuthu.
