Shah Rukh Khan’s Dempo Deal At Risk

January 8, 2013

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s proposed deal to buy stake in I-League Dempo Sports Club is reportedly at risk because he is finding it difficult to attend football matches as required by the club owners.

Dempo Sports Club Owner Srinivas Dempo said the deal may not go ahead, because Shah Rukh has no time to attend the matches, which is crucial if a deal is to be reached.

The club had approached Shah Rukh, who is the co-owner of Indian Premier League team Kolkata Knight Riders, to offer him a stake in the club, which won last year’s I-League championship.

Dempo said: “The proposal is still in the pipeline. Officially, it has not been called off.”{jcomments on}
