This memorable video was captured on the sidelines of the Chennai Formula Racing Circuit, an extension of the recently concluded Indian Racing Festival (IRF). Tollywood star Naga Chaitanya had a fanboy moment with none other than the Indian cricket legend Sourav Ganguly. The duo shook hands and interacted with each other and also exchanged best wishes for the racing festival.

It’s well known that Sourav and Chay own the Kolkata Royal Tigers and Hyderabad Blackbirds franchises, respectively, at the Indian Racing League 2024 that flagged off on August 24 at the Madras International Circuit. The prestigious sporting event was followed by the ongoing Formula Racing Circuit, India’s first-ever night street circuit race, in Chennai.

Apart from Dada and Chay, popular celebrities such as John Abraham and Arjun Kapoor also own the franchises, Goa Aces and Speed Demons Delhi, respectively. Teams from Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Goa, and Kolkata participated in the opening season. On the work front, Chay is currently shooting for the ambitious cross-border action-romance saga, Thandel. The film also features Sai Pallavi in a lead role.
