Reportedly, Deepika has accepted to
perform at the launch IPL 6 ceremony though she will get a little time
to practice as she currently is in Wai shooting for ‘Chennai Express’.
International rap artist Pitbull has
also been roped in this year to perform alongside Bollywood stars Shah
Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone.
This comes as Indian Premier League
organizers have dropped pop diva Jennifer Lopez from the opening
ceremony of its sixth edition, to be held in Kolkata on April 2.
According a report in The Sun, the
43-year-old singer was said to have demanded a private plane and dozens
of hotel rooms for her entourage. She also wanted to bring along her
personal stylists, assistants and chef as well.
Describing Jennifer’s demands as
‘idiotic’, a source quoted by NDTV said, “The demands were outrageous.
She effectively priced herself out of an event which has a huge
audience.”
The sixth edition of IPL will kick off on 3 April with a match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils.
