Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla are friends and business partners.  So it came as no surprise that they invested in a franchise.  Their choice of city though is a surprise.  Kolkata is really not their turf.

Preity Zinta of course bought the Mohali (Chandigarh) team together with her partner Ness Wadia (see below) and two other businessmen - Karan Paul (Apeejay Surendera Group) and Mohit Burman (Dabur)
