"No, he will not be allowed as the ban continues," said an official of the Mumbai Cricket Association, which banned him for five years from entering their premises, including the Wankhede Stadium, after the actor was involved in an ugly skirmish with security staff and officials of MCA following KKR's victory over MI on May 16, 2012 at the stadium.

Last year MCA was willing to lift the ban on the actor temporarily in order to host the June 2 final before it was taken away and allotted to Bengaluru by the Cricket Board.

On May 16 this year, however, Shah Rukh will be able to witness defending champions KKR, of which he is the co-owner, taking on Rajasthan Royals at the Brabourne Stadium here which is owned by another BCCI affiliate - Cricket Club of India - and is just a stone's throw away from the Wankhede Stadium.
