Bollywood A-listers like Shah Rukh Khan (also owner of Kolkata Knight Riders), Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone have over the last nine years mesmerized fans across the world during the opening ceremonies of the Indian Premier League.
And this year, it is the turn of the upcoming crop of stars like Parineeti Chopra, Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor to put the stage on fire during the 8 separate opening ceremonies across the eight host cities.
IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla told on Monday April 03,2017 that there would be eight separate opening ceremonies and now it has been learnt that the latest crop of Bollywood stars will perform across Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Gujarat, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru and Indore.
Apart from Parineeti, Tiger and Shraddha, the likes of Amy Jackson and Riteish Deshmukh are also expected to perform. While Amy is set to perform at the den of the defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad, Riteish is expected to perform for the fans of Pune Rising Supergiant.
Speaking to Cricketnext, Ravinder Manchanda, IPL head of events committee of the Delhi and District Cricket Association, confirmed that none other than Ambala girl Parineeti will set the stage ablaze at the Ferozeshah Kotla Stadium ahead of Delhi Daredevils’ opening game of the tournament on April 15 against Kings XI Punjab.
A Cricket Association of Bengal official said that both Shraddha and Monali Thakur would be wooing the Kolkata Knight Riders fans.
“With Shah Rukh Khan, you never know if he will be part of an impromptu jig if he is present at the Eden Gardens. But as of now, Shraddha and Monali have confirmed their participation. We are very excited and hope to put on a great show,” he said.
Gujarat Lions are set to have the acrobatic Tiger perform stunts as well as Bollywood numbers for the fans in Rajkot.
“We will have the super talented Tiger performing at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium. Apart from him, we will also have Sachin-Jigar and the Ram-Leela fame singer Bhoomi Trivedi. It should be a fascinating night and one that all will remember,” an SCA official said.
A Hyderabad Cricket Association official who is in the know of things said that Amy is set to perform at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal on the opening night of the 10th edition of the cash-rich league.
