After the stupendous portrayal of Alauddin Khilji in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s blockbuster period drama ‘Padmaavat’, Bollywood heartthrob Ranveer Singh soaring high now.
Ranveer Singh is known for his insane energy and has always set the stage on fire with energetic performance on various award functions.
The ‘Bajirao Mastani’ star is now all geared up to perform at the opening ceremony of Indian Premier League 2018. According to a report from Hindustan Times, Ranveer is said to be paid a whopping amount of Rs 5 crore for his 15-minute performance in IPL’s eleventh edition.
“He will be shaking a leg for about 15 minutes, but the organising team was always clear that they wanted Ranveer as a performer, and that’s why he has been offered such a huge amount,” a source said to the daily.
“His appeal cuts across cities, age-groups and has an equally big fan following among men and women. That’s why the organisers felt that he is the perfect fit for the performance at this year’s IPL opening ceremony. The organisers are extremely happy that Ranveer has given his nod for the event,” said the insider.
“Going by his past performances, he wants to give audiences a breath-taking performance and so, he is taking time out of his extremely busy schedule to start rehearsals for the same. He is currently busy shooting for Gully Boy and also prepping for ‘Simmba’ but has decided to balance out time for his performance’s rehearsals as well as other professional commitments,” added the insider.
Ranveer is currently shooting for Zoya Akhtar’s musical drama ‘Gully Boy’ and Alia Bhatt will also be seen in the film. Ranveer recently shared an interesting selfie with Naezy, reportedly the film is based on the the lives of rap stars – Divine and Naezy.
