Ranveer won t perform at IPL opener due to injury

Mumbai April 2 (IANS) Bollywood star Ranveer Singh who was scheduled to perform at the opening ceremony of the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season won t shake a leg at the event to avoid aggravating a shoulder injury.

Ranveer had injured his shoulder during a football match. He has been strictly advised by doctors to avoid performing at the cricket tournament s opening ceremony on April 7.

"After multiple medical checkups the doctors have strongly advised Ranveer Singh not to perform at this year s IPL opening ceremony in which he was doing the grand finale act.

"Ranveer will continue to shoot for Gully Boy as per its shooting schedule which is not physically strenuous since only performance-based talkie scenes are left to be shot " the spokesperson added.
