Ranveer Singh, who was to perform at the opening ceremony of the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, is learned to have backed out because of his shoulder injury.

Ranveer injured his shoulder during a charity football match and he has been advised not to overstrain it for at least one month. However, Ranveer is not taking any breaks and will continue shooting for his upcoming film Gully Boy as per schedule.

According to the reports in the DNA, Hrithik Roshan is likely to replace Ranveer Singh for this grand event. Hrithik has earlier performed at IPL opening ceremony in 2015. The organisers of IPL are in talks with Hrithik.

Ranveer Singh’s spokesperson said, “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. They feel his high-energy performance would only overstrain his shoulder and aggravate the injury.”

Apart from Ranveer, Varun Dhawan, Parineeti Chopra, and Jacqueline Fernandez are among the other Bollywood stars who will grace the opening night with their enthralling performances.
