Fake IPL Player will be back with his book

admin — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 13:27:36 +0000

FIP is back to make history with his book ‘Gamechangers’ being brought out by Harper Collins which will be released in March 2010. Excerpt from the interview with Arnab who is the author of Greatbong.net blog.

Arnab: Do you think your book will sell more due to the buzz/controversy created by the blog? Also do you anticipate any legal actions (defamation etc) being taken against you by BCCI when you reveal yourself at the launch of the book?

FIP: I don’t know about whether the book will sell more due to the blog or not, but I know for a fact that the book would never have happened if it weren’t for the blog. If it wasn’t for the blog, the folks at Harper Collins wouldn’t have thought of me as anything more than a horse’s ass.
