Why is Deepika and Ranveer's inclination towards buying the team, not a surprising move?
Deepika Padukone belongs to a sports family and has a solid background in badminton herself. Deepika's father, Prakash Padukone, is a former All England badminton champion.
Singh is also the brand ambassador for English Premier League and the world's most famous basketball league, the NBA.
According to experts, a bid anywhere between 375 to 425 million USD could land a team with a 10-year license.
