Hundreds of people thronged the district stadium here on Sunday to have a glimpse of film actors playing cricket.

Popular actors like Punit Rajkumar and Srinagara Kitti were part of the cricket team, which participated in the Dr. Raj Cup T20 cricket match. Eight teams led by different actors took part in the tournament.

As soon as Punit Rajkumar arrived at the stadium, hundreds of his fans gathered around him, hoping to have a word or take a snap with him.

The fans and volunteers of the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike, one of the organisers of the tournament, took him around the stadium in an open jeep.

The police had a tough time in handling the crowd.

The cricket tournament has been organised by the Actors’ Association. Sadashiva Brahmavar, president of the association, said that as per the original plan, eight matches were to be held in Hassan.

However, owing to paucity of time ,only six matches would be held here, he said. The final match would be held in Malaysia next month, he added.
