Team Solution Factory along with Tollywood Cricket Association (TCA) and Tulsi Gramodyog Samiti (TGSS) an NGO will organise Light A Life Cricket Cup (LLCC) by the Tollywood actors. The event will help raise funds for educating rural girl children across the state. The initiative also covers the cost of constructing an old-age home and an educational institute for physically and mentally challenged people at Adilabad on 50 acres of land allotted by state government in 2009. On Saturday the the LLCC was formally inaugurated by actors Srikanth, Tarun, Allari Naresh, Prince and Sudheer at Begumpet. The tickets for the tournament are available in four different categories, priced at `200, `300, `500 and `1000 and the amount collected will be transferred to the account of the NGO, along with the amount sanctioned by sponsors. The team jerseys were also launched on the day.

Addressing the gathering Srikanth Reddy, manging director of Team Solution Factory said, “There are thousands of rural girl children in our state who have no access to education. This is a small initiative from us to support them. Actors have immediately agreed when we consulted them with the proposal for this match. We are very thankful for their support.”

“This is not the first time that Tollywood actors are playing cricket for charity. We have also contributed in raising funds to support Tsunami-effected people and movie artists who have fallen on hard times in the past. Our film industry is always ready to work for a good cause. I thank all the actors who are going to participate in the match,” said actor Srikanth. Around 35 movie and television actors are going take part in LLCC. The cricket competition will see actors Charmee, Aksha, Kamna Jethmalani, Veda, Soniya, Madhu Shalini and Sanjana cheering for the teams.
