Ranveer Singh, who recently suffered a shoulder injury, will not perform at this year's IPL opening ceremony, the actor's spokesperson said on Monday. The 32-year-old star has been advised not to overstrain his shoulder, which he injured during a football match. He was scheduled to perform at the grand finale on April 7 event.
"After multiple medical check-ups, the doctors have strongly advised Ranveer Singh to not perform at this year's IPL opening ceremony in which he was doing the finale act. They feel his high-energy performance would only overstrain his shoulder and aggravate the injury," his spokesperson said in a statement.
The Padmaavat actor, however, will continue shooting for his next Gully Boy. "Ranveer will continue to shoot for 'Gully Boy' as per its shooting schedule which is not physically strenuous since only performance-based talkie scenes are left to be shot," the statement added. We wish Ranveer a speedy recovery.
The actor is also working in Rohit Shetty's cop film Simmba and Kabir Khan's sports drama 83, in which he would portray former Indian cricket captain Kapil Dev.
Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Parineeti Chopra among others are likely to perform at the opening ceremony of IPL 2018. In fact, Varun Dhawan has even started prepping for his perfoamance, a glimpse of which he had earlier shared on his Instagram stories. The actor has been shooting for Sui Dhaaga with Anushka Sharma but reportedly, he took a day off to rehearse for his IPL performance.
Speculations have been rife that Hrithik Roshan might be roped in to perform in the finale act at the IPL opening ceremony and now that it's confirmed that Ranveer won't be able to perform at IPL 11 opening, the organisers may approach him for the same. However, there hasn't been any official announcement on the same from the organisers yet. Watch this space...
