Harbhajan Singh has been slapped with a show cause notice by the BCCI on Saturday, asking why disciplinary action should not be taken against him for allegedly slapping Sreesanth in Mohali.
Harbhajan has been asked to respond by Monday, BCCI Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty said.
"At this point of time, we have issued a show cause notice. Harbhajan is a contracted player of BCCI.
"BCCI itself has a code of conduct for players. And BCCI Secretary Niranjan Shah has issued a show cause notice and he has to respond by Monday," Shetty said.
Harbhajan, leading the Mumbai Indians, allegedly slapped Sreesanth of the Kings XI Punjab following some exchange of words shortly after their match in Mohali on Friday.
Sreesanth was walking around the stadium in tears as his teammates including skipper Yuvraj Singh tried to console him.
"The Board's disciplinary committee will look into the issue and decide according to the rules of the BCCI," said Shah.
Shetty did not want to speculate on what punishment the BCCI could take against the off-spinner who is the stand-in captain of Mumbai Indians with Sachin Tendulkar keeping out due to a groin injury.
"I can't say anything about what action will be taken against him. And I don't think we need to speculate on that. We will follow a proper procedure," he said.
After getting Harbhajan's explanation, the disciplinary committee will consider what action needs to be taken in accordance with the rules, he said.
BCCI slaps notice on Harbhajan
Is Kantri Half 'Munna' and Half 'Pokiri'?
With 'Jalsa' now out of the way, all attention is now directed at the next big film. The film is 'Kanthri' and Jr. NTR is the hero and Hansika Motwani is the heroine. Mehar Ramesh is the director and Ashwini Dutt is the producer.
The audio is already a big hit. But NTR fans are not happy at the low profile publicity for the film. The audio was released silently and even the film is likely to be released without much hype. It is also gossiped that Chiranjeevi's involvement is there in this little hype or no hype syndrome for 'Kantri'. Sources say that he gave signals for Dutt to play a passive role in promoting the film.
Apart from this, people are now seen speculating about the story of Kanthri. Some report suggests that that the story of the film is a mix of Munna and Pokiri. While Pokiri is a big hit, Munna was a miserable fop. So we have to see how a mix of these two films will fare at the box office now.
Trisha too pricey for Cricket?
Trisha was apparently the first choice as the brand ambassador for the Chennai IPL team — Chennai Kings. However when she demanded an exorbitant amount (Rs 1 Crore), the company dropped her and opted for Nayantara instead, who was fine with the amount quoted by them.

Asha Saini's Bikini Dropped Down
The film 'Michael Madana Kamaraju' has three heroes and two leading ladies. Prabhu Deva, Srikanth and Sunil are the heroes and Charmy and Asha Saini are the heroines. While Charmy sizzled in her role as usual, it was the other heroine Asha Saini, who went a step ahead in the glamour department.
Asha Saini played a young and vivacious girl who is looking for love. She finds it in Sunil. The two first meet in Goa. This naturally gives the director an opportunity to go overboard and dress up Asha in the skimpiest of costumes.
The director makes her wear bikinis in a couple of songs. The voluptuous Saini is a feast for the yes. Her well endowed assets have been exposed on camera quite liberally. It is understood that her top came off while shooting a scene with Srikanth. Saini was exposed completely (topless) but she quickly covered her up. The scene has also been covered up during editing.
