Sreesanth was banned by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2013 for spot-fixing. His 7-year suspension came to end on 13th of September 2020. He has been showing his desperation to play International cricket since his ban got lifted. He also wanted to represent a team in IPL 14. However, none of the eight IPL teams shortlisted Kerala based fast bowler in their team. He who recently made his comeback to cricket, is pretty much active in social media platforms.

It is notable that Sreesanth joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in the year 2016. He contested and lost the Kerala Assembly elections from Thiruvananthapuram. He secured a total of 34,764 votes but lost the election to VS Sivakumar of the Congress by 11,710 votes. He also took part in the Hindi version of Bigg Boss as a contestant. Now, the 38 year old is all set to make his debut in Kollywood film industry through “Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kaadhal”.

They got engaged recently and the actress revealed about it during the promotion of her recently released “Nettrikann”. Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan are also concentrating on producing and distributing films. With “Rocky” awaiting for theatrical release, the duo’s “Pebbels” sent to Oscars as India’s representation. A film is being made having Bigg Boss fame Kavin as lead as well.
