There is no doubt that Katrina Kaif is one of the most sought after names today in terms of live shows and stage performances. I am sure you all would remember how her abs went on to make headlines at the IPL grand opening in 2016. She is now all set to return to the IPL stage after 2 years, with an act that promises to leave viewers enthralled.
While details are under wraps for the moment, sources reveal that Katrina will have a 10 minute performance that closes the show. She is also rumored to be performing to her blockbuster songs, including the recent 'Swag Se Swagat' from Tiger Zinda Hai.
Katrina has been rehearsing for the show around the clock in the midst of her other film and brand commitments. There were also whispers of the star being one of the highest paid performers at the IPL finale that will take place on the 27th May.
Says a source, “It was only last year that Katrina brought the house down at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi as she performed at the opening ceremony of the Indian Super League (ISL). In 2016, she was part of the grand opening of the IPL season and everything from her dance moves to her super chiseled abs ,went on to make headlines. It’s no surprise then that she’s one of the most sought after names for sport league performances.The organizers are making every effort to raise the bar and all eyes are now on the closing ceremony to see what’s in store this year”.
Young gun Karthik Aryan would also be performing at the ceremony this year. “They will have separate acts. Kartik Aaryan will perform on Bom Diggy Diggy and Dil Chori from Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. Katrina Kaif will dance to her hits from Tiger Zinda Hai (2017). Though the songs are still being finalised, Swag Se Swagat is sure to be on Katrina’s playlist. The practise sessions are over and above their shoot schedules and brand commitments. Each act will be 10 minutes long, "another source revealed to Mid Day
Apart from them, Katrina's ex Ranbir Kapoor will also be a part of the closing ceremony. Ranbir, who has replaced Ranveer Singh to take the host-seat at the closing ceremony of IPL this year, will host a two hour predlufe to the IPL finale. “Cricket Finals – Party Toh Banti hai” will be telecast on Star Plus. It will see a melange of performances and fun-filled interactions with celebrities. Additionally, actors Ravi Dubey, Gaurav Sareen, Aakriti Sharma and Deshna Dugad will amplify the entertainment quotient of the finale. It will be followed by the VIVO IPL 2018 grand finale on Star India Network on May 27, ” said a statement issued by the channel.
