It’s easy to understand why filmmakers are shy of releasing their films during IPL season. It’s not just cricket, it’s a soap opera with match fixing, drunken brawls and alleged molestation grabbing headlines. Some politicians want the IPL banned to solve the problem. While very few are impressed with this blinkered view, it has ignited the ire of Shilpa Shetty, co-owner of the Rajasthan Royals team. Her latest Twitter post reads, “Hate this trial by media and sensationalism of trivial issues! Let the law take its course on those issues. Thought of banning IPL is ridiculous! It is upsetting to see television channels running down the IPL for any silly reasons, like reason of it giving a bad image to India! How one sided.”
