One of the conditions put forth by Indian Premier League Chairman Ranjib Biswal to MCA, one was to allow entry to all franchise owners and officials for hosting the finals.
The Bollywood superstar was banned for five years from entering MCA premises, including the Wankhede Stadium, by the Association's managing committee, headed by the late Vilasrao Deshmukh, on May 18, 2012 after he was involved in a skirmish with security staff and officials of the cricket body after his team's victory over Mumbai Indians two nights earlier.
Some of the other conditions put out by the IPL were to allot 85 per cent parking slots to IPL, no ambush marketing at the stadium, no bursting of fire crackers post 10 pm, limited number of accreditations to MCA members.
The MCA will have a managing committee meeting tomorrow evening to discuss these conditions.
However, it is not clear whether the MCA would lift the ban, as sources said there is no IPL rule that owners must be present for the final.
