From Spirits to Sports: Sanjay Dutt & Mokksh Sani Expand Portfolio with The Glenwalk Lions Ownership
Mumbai, January 19 2026: In 2026, Sanjay Dutt, along with visionary entrepreneurs Mokksh Sani
(Founder of Living Liquidz and Cartel bros) and his brother Manish Sani, expanded his influence into
sports-led creator entertainment with the acquisition of The Glenwalk Lions at the All Stars Ball
Tennis Cricket League (ASTCL) Season 2. This strategic move integrates the trio’s success in lifestyle
and community-building with the high-energy world of tennis ball cricket.
The All Stars Ball Tennis Cricket League (ASTCL) Season 2 will take place from February 9 to
February 14, 2026, at the Wings Sports Centre in Bandra (W), Mumbai and will be streamed on
Sony Sports Network. Curated by GS Sports, the league is themed "Bachpan Ka Khel Karega
Entertain" (Childhood games will entertain), blending professional sports with the charisma of
content creators and Bollywood stars. Positioned as more than just a cricket tournament, ASTCL
represents a paradigm shift in the creator economy. The league features 10 teams competing in a
league-cum-knockout format, with the top two qualifying teams advancing to the semifinals,
promising a fast-paced and thrilling spectacle for fans both on-ground and online.
The Glenwalk Lions, captained by actor Aamir Ali, Surya Sharma & Vikas Jain will kick off the season
on 9th February, facing Delhi Dragons, already anticipated as a nail-biting start. Adding to the
excitement is the league’s star-studded line-up of Bollywood and television personalities, including
Arjun Bijlani, Karanvir Bohra, Rohit Roy, Prince Narula, Karan Wahi, Karanveer Mehra and Aly Goni,
among several other popular faces, making it one of the most anticipated creator-sporting leagues
of the season.
Speaking on the association, Mokksh Sani said, “ASTCL perfectly captures the energy of today’s
creator-first world. Investing in The Glenwalk Lions felt like a natural extension of our belief in
platforms that bring people together with purpose. The fact that a portion of the proceeds supports
charity makes this a genuinely meaningful venture for all of us.”
“We see ASTCL as a natural and strategic extension of our brand philosophy at the intersection of
lifestyle and youth culture. This league captures the dynamic energy of modern entertainment.
Owning The Glenwalk Lions allows us to leverage that synergy while simultaneously contributing to a
charitable cause, adding significant purpose and depth to our involvement.”
Echoing the sentiment, Sanjay Dutt shared, “My attraction to ASTCL went far beyond the boundary
ropes; it was the league's heart that truly resonated with me. We are using the massive synergy of
sport and cinema to drive real-world impact. Leading The Glenwalk Lions isn’t just about the
trophy—it’s about championing a cause that empowers our community. That is what makes this
partnership genuinely special.”
In line with its commitment to social responsibility, a portion of the league’s proceeds will be
donated to a chosen charity, reinforcing ASTCL’s focus on social responsibility alongside
entertainment.
Season 2 action is expected to be broadcast live on the Sony Sports Network, following the
successful partnership established in previous editions. Fans can also catch exclusive updates and
live moments via the ASTCL Official Instagram and the dedicated ASTCL Official App.
