The BCCI has invited several Bollywood stars to perform at the opening ceremony of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.Actress Rashmika Mandanna and Tamannaah Bhatia will perform on the opening night.
It is the 16th season of the cricket franchise and the opening ceremony will be held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 31.For more than four years, due to Covid, the opening ceremony wasn’t a part of the event.Apart from them, Arijit Singh, Katrina Kaif and Tiger Shroff are also slated to perform.
A senior BCCI official shared, “There will be an opening ceremony on March 31, but a short one.As the home and away format returns, we felt it was necessary to welcome back the home crowd with a ceremony.”
The first match of the season will see the defending champions Gujarat Titans battle it out against Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The IPL is always known for its grand opening ceremonies before the start of the inaugural match each year.However, this hasn’t been the case since the 2019 edition because of the COVID-19 pandemic that kept affecting the tournament.
But the opening ceremony will be back after four years during this edition.And the audience will get to see Tamannaah Bhatia perform at the event.
There are also reports about she being joined by another popular name Rashmika Mandanna.
Sharing about Tamannaah’s performance at the event, a source said, “Tamannaah has been prepping for this performance round the clock as she is very particular about everything.
Performing at the opening is also a wonderful opportunity for her as an actress.She’s surely going to make your heart skip a beat.

On the work front, Tamannaah was seen last year in projects like Plan A Plan B and Babli Bouncer.Her line-up for this year includes Jee Karda, Lust Stories season 2, Bhola Shankar and Jailer.
