Cricketer Ashwin Ravichandran mentors a coaching academy in Chennai called the Gen-Next Cricket Academy which was founded by his father. The COO of this multi-branched coaching center, Sudarshan recently tweeted about the influx of calls he has received from parents of young girls, which he believes is the result of watching Kanaa.
Afterall Sivakarthikeyan produced Kanaa did talk about how cricket is never really considered a girls' game and what it takes to break that taboo. Here's what Sudarsan wrote:
Thanks to #Kanaa, I have now got at least 5-6 calls from TN districts from parents enquiring for cricket coaching for their 12-13 year old daughters at our academy @gennextcricket. Shows what good content can do to ppl: it inspires them. Congrats, @Siva_Kartikeyan! True success!
