Mumbai
October 12, 2017
Actors Tiger Shroff and Sooraj Pancholi will compete on the
cricket pitch in an effort to raise awareness about cancer.
They will
play a friendly cricket match against each other at the INK Cricket Blast,
organised by VVIP Universal Entertainment. They will be joined by other
celebrities like Sohail Khan, Athiya Shetty, Guru Randhawa, Armaan Malik amongst
others for the charity match on October 22.
The celebrities will not only
play cricket, but also donate blood at the blood donation drive organised by the
Aditya Birla Memorial Hospital to support blood supply during cancer treatment.
Other celebrities like Esha Gupta, Honey Singh and Adah Sharma have also come
forward to show their support.
Imtiaz Khatri, Founder and CEO, VVIP
Universal Entertainment, said: "In India, people are most passionate about
Bollywood and cricket. We thought of combining these two to create awareness
about cancer, which is treatable, especially if detected early. It's important
for people to know that timely treatment can cure cancer completely. INK Cricket
Blast will help us take this message to every household in India."
Sooraj
is looking forward to the experience.
"Imtiaz is a friend and when he
approached me to support such a noble cause of cancer awareness, I readily
agreed. Cricket being a passion since childhood, I also co-own a team with
Imtiaz in the league. I am looking forward to a great performance from the
team," Sooraj said.
