In an unprecedented move, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has called for a ban against the song 'Sahara Saaral thoovudo' from the much anticipated Rajnikanth blockbuster Sivaji. The reason, apparently, is that the BCCI feels that such a pathetic song being propagated by heavyweights like Rajnikanth and AR Rahman seriously dents the image of their official sponsors Sahara.
Commenting on the issue, the BCCI Seceretary Mr.Niranjan Shah said "It is a sad state of affairs that we have in our hands. A sorry song like this coming from the music maestro Sachin Tendulkar himself seriously tarnishes the reputation of the official sponsors of Team India. I did not expect this from Sachin." evidently confusing Tendulkar with AR Rahman.
Sources close to Dinesh Karthik claim that he is extremeley disppointed by BCCI's appeal. He is supposed to have said "First they say I cannot speak to the media. Now I cannot even listen to Thalaivar's song. What next, ban on Namitha movies?"
Sri Lankan ace spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, who is a Thalaivar fan himself was vehement in expressing opposition. "They can stop us from hearing the song. But no one can stop me from singing it. Sahara Saaral Thoovodo, Bopara Bowled Aanado..." he quipped, manifesting his delight at winning against England.
BCCI received unexpected support from England Skipper Michael Vaughan. "I wholeheartedly support the voice of BCCI. This whole sledging thing by Murali has to be investigated. And there is no drinking culture in the team. Ulla-la-la-leyo, hic hic" he hicked before retiring with a sprained ankle.
"This is totally ridiculous. Perform or perish. Chappell must quit." howled Former Indian Captain Kris Srikanth on CNN-IBN in response to the question "Is Rajnikanth finally growing up?" put forward by Rajdeep Sardesai.
Other prominent Chennai Thalaivar fanatics like Lakshmipathy Balaji, WV Raman and Dennis Lillee were unavailable for comment.

Nice imagination to link the indian bureaucracy (in BCCI where every one confuses stuff!) and a sort of let down in the sivaji songs by arr! Best was Dinesh Karthik's comments....wish we were able to reach WV Raman n others too :-)
When Rajni was contacted for comments, "Kanna! Sahara makkal sothu. BCCI matum illa ICC ye vandhalum adangi pogadhanu, AANDAVAN SOLRAN SIVAJI SEYYARAN... Udal mannuku Uyir Tamizukku... Vartta"
