Bollywood holds musical Twenty20

Mumbai, Jan 31: Bollywood's top music directors and singers came together but this time for a different reason. Cricket and Bollywood have always been connected.

The musical fraternity in Bollywood formed a cricket group called 'Club C3', founded by singer Shaan and musician Lalit Pandit, and chaired by Aditya Narayan.

The music directors were pitched against singers.

Those who were present during the musical Twenty20 match included singer Baba Saigal, Ismail Merchant, Shaan, Rahul Vaidya, the second runner-up of the first Indian Idol contest, and Sandeep Acharya, winner of the second Indian Idol contest. Music director duo Sanjeev-Darshan were also present.

Singer Alka Yagnik was the only female there who came to cheer the singers and musicians as they played.

This group meets every month, and they hope to get in sponsors in time so that they can donate the proceeds to charity.

"We already have so much, it would be nice to give back something," said Wajid Khan.
