IPL 2011 Opening Ceremony

Come the IPL grand opening tonight and audiences will have a treat watching none other than the Badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan get jiggy with southern superstar Shriya Saran. Yes folks, the celebrity duo will be performing at the opening ceremony of the IPL in Chennai tonight.

The ceremony being held in Chennai will have some of its local flavour as well as some desi Bollywood hits featuring SRK and Shriya. The list of local tracks that SRK will groove to include 'Naakka Mukka', 'Ringa Ringa' and 'Appadi Podu'; while on the Bollywood beat, the listing will include the title track of Chak De India, 'Marjani Marjani' and 'Love Mera Hit Hit' from Billu. Not forgetting the special hip hop number composed by Raju Singh titled 'Awesome'.

Apart from this, the IPL opening ceremony will also feature performances by Taufiq Qureshi who will be opening the show with a tabla performance, followed by the UK based singer Raghav who's set to perform to 'Angel Eyes'.

Further Kunal Ganjawala will be singing 'World Hold On' from Mission Istanbul, while Manasi Scott, Akriti Kakad and Sona Mahapatra will be rendering the track 'Aa Dekhe Zara' together.

Another attraction will be Sunidhi Chauhan who will render the track 'Ainvayi Ainvayi' from the film Band Baaja Baraat, 'Dhoom Machale', 'Dance Pe Chance' and of course her latest single with Enrique 'Heartbeat'.

However, the beauty of the entire opening ceremony is that all the performances will be based on the three themes that make up this IPL season - teamwork, skill and entertainment.
