A few months back, popular artiste Justin Bieber had been in India to perform for a concert. While the show has been a sold-out, the world-renowned received a lot of flak for lip-syncing at the performance from the fans who paid huge bucks to be a part of the show. Now it looks like singer Mika Singh has taken a leaf out of Bieber and did the same during IPL 2018 Opening Ceremony.
The singer was the part of the glitzy opening ceremony performing along with the likes of Varun Dhawan, Prabhu Deva, Tamannaah Bhatia. While Mika Singh delivered a rocking performance, fans were quick to point out that he was actually lip-syncing and apparently not doing a good job at hiding that.
Many of them took to Twitter to troll the singer, and criticised him for ruining the event for them. Here are some of their reactions,
The desi Justin Bieber?
Mika Singh clearly lip singing on stage. Abhi yahi Justin Beiber kar deta toh kal national news ban jati. #IPL2018

Any answers, Mika paaji?
Mika Paaji doing lip sync in such a massive event.
From next time @Varun_dvn & others will ask the management to play their videos on live screen.
Don't know if @MikaSingh is paid for this lip sync? #OpeningCeremony #IPL2018 #MIvCSK #IPL11

Another Justin Bieber joke
Currently what Mika Singh is doing on #VIVOIPLonStar is exactly what JustinBieber did on his concert. #MIvsCSK

Interestingly 'King Mika Singh' had dedicated this performance to Salman Khan who is currently out on bal for his involvement in the blackbuck poaching case.
I’m so happy that my brother @BeingSalmanKhan was finally granted bail! Today I will dedicate 2 songs to my big brother at @IPL ..., pic.twitter.com/H7S1auzLVz

Dedication is good, Mika Paaji, but we really wish you would have taken some extra efforts to make it look genuine!
