MUMBAI:  With three days to go for the inaugural season of the Hero Indian Super League (ISL), Salman Khan tweeted that he is not a co owner of any ISL team.  He said that his friends Dheeraj and Kapil Wadhawan had asked him to be the partner for the team. He further stated the reason for the same was because of his endorsement contract with Suzuki and Thums Up which conflicted with the league sponsors. Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan is set to replace him as the new co owner.

He further went on to tweet that he supported Nita Ambani’s vision in the football grassroots programme and would work wholeheartedly in supporting it. According to him, by creating the ISL, IMG Reliance and Star have put in place an important building block to put Indian football on the global football map.
