Former India captain Sourav Ganguly arrived in Mumbai on Tuesday night and headed straight to actor Shahrukh Khan's residence to discuss issues related to Kolkata team, owned by the supterstar, one of eight city-based outfits competing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in April.
Ganguly, one of the icon players at the newly launched IPL, will be playing for Kolkata, whose franchise has been bagged by Khan's production house Red Chillies Entertainment.
Khan had played host to Pakistan's paceman Shoaib Akhtar and seemed keen on keeping the speedster in his team on Monday.

Later, IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi and Juhi Chawla's husband Jay Mehta of Red Chillies Entertainment also arrived at SRK's residence at Band Stand to hold talks on Wednesday's auction.

He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...
