After 5 years, the Indian Premier League (IPL) will have its first big opening celebration. Bollywood stars Tamannah Bhatia, Rashmika Mandhana, and singer Arijit Singh will appear at the IPL 2023 opening ceremony in Ahmedabad on Friday. (March 31).
On Thursday (March 30), Tamannah Bhatia and Rashmika Mandhana were seen going through their last practices before the big show at 6 p.m. on Friday. Both stars talked about what it was like to sing at the opening event of the IPL.
“Since the beginning of my work, I’ve always liked being on stage.” Also, it’s fascinating to play for the IPL, which has been through so much since COVID-19. “I’m looking forward to singing with Arijit Singh and Rashmika Mandhana,” Tamannah Bhatia said on Thursday.
Rashmika Mandhana, who was in the movie “Mission Majnu,” had never been to an IPL game before, so she was excited to act at the opening ceremony. “I’ve always wanted to see an IPL game, but I’ve never had the chance. Mandhana said, “Today, I’m going to perform before an IPL game, so I feel like I made it.”
When asked who their favorite cricket players were, both Tamannah Bhatia and Rashmika Mandhana said MS Dhoni, who is the captain of the Chennai Super Kings, and Virat Kohli, who plays for the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
“Movies and cricket are essential to us because that’s how we grew up. “Everyone’s favorite is Dhoni, including Virat and me,” Tamannah said.
Rashmika Mandhana, on the other hand, said, “Usually, when I watch a cricket match, my feelings are too up and down, and I only like to look at the scores.” “Of course, Dhoni sir and Virat sir are my favorites.”
After the one-hour opening ceremony for the IPL 2023, the first game will be played between the defending champion Gujarat Titans and the Chennai Super Kings.
