One of the most popular actors in the current scene Ranveer Singh was reported to have charged a whopping 5 crores for his time on stage. However, as it turns out the Bajirao Mastani actor might have to give the event a miss.

Injury forces Ranveer out of action

As per reports in Insidesport, the actor sustained a shoulder injury during a football match owing to which he might miss out on the performance. Ranveer’s spokesperson recently talked to the media and shared the update. “Ranveer Singh has injured his shoulder during a football match and has been advised not to overstrain it for at least one month. Ranveer is, however, not taking any breaks and will continue shooting for Gully Boy as per schedule,” the source mentioned.

The Padmavat-actor will also be consulting a doctor recently who would confirm about whether he can perform in the inauguration ceremony or not. “Ranveer is in consultation with the doctors who will advise him, in a day or two, on whether he would able to perform at this year’s IPL opening ceremony in which he is doing the finale act,” the source added.

Apart from Ranveer, Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Parineeti Chopra are also scheduled to set the stage on fire ahead of the massive league. Meanwhile, every team would be hoping to start the tournament on a handsome note with wins in their initial games.
