Ranbir Kapoor said he was looking to translating his passion for the sport into development activity. The actor will own the Mumbai franchise in the inaugural Indian Super League (ISL), BizAsia has come to know.

The actor has joined hands with investment banker Bimal Parekh to co-own the Mumbai franchise of the eight-city league that will be played during September-November.

According to IANS he said, “It is a moment of great pride for me to be a part of the Indian Super League and to represent the vibrant city of Mumbai. Football has never been far away from my daily life since childhood, and now as a partner in the Indian Super League, I am looking forward to translate my passion into contributing to the growth of the sport.”

The actor, who is currently busy shooting for his film ‘Bombay Velvet’, hopes the grassroots program developed by ISL promoters IMG-Reliance for the franchise owners will benefit the game.

“I firmly believe in the grassroots and community development program designed by the league organisers IMG Reliance, to popularise the game and that�۪s one thing which excited me to be part of this dream.” he added.
