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.
The stylish left-hander and Khan are likely to hold discussion at the latter's residence `Mannat' in suburban Bandra regarding the team composition ahead of Wednesday's auction of players.
IPL's Twenty20 cricket championship will be played between April 18 and June 1 among the eight city teams in various parts of the country.
Around 80 to 85 international players are to go under the auctioner's hammer when team franchises - with owners ranging from top industrialists Mukesh Ambani and Vijay Mallya to Khan and Preity Zinta - will bid for cricketers.
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.

Excerpts from an exclusive interview: Kaminey and Dil Bole Hadippa... are set to hit the screens. Yeah. Their release dates are pretty close to each other. Kaminey will hit the screens this month, while Dil Bole Hadippa is slated for a September release. Both are very different films and I’m excited as well as a little nervous. The levels of expectations increase after your previous films have done well at the BO. Jab We Met was a turning point in my career. After Vivaah, I sat home for six ...
