So the one thing we were really looking forward to at the opening ceremony of the 11th Indian Premier League 2018 is not happening. Ranveer Singh will not be performing at the opening ceremony owing to his shoulder injury. Doctors are worried that Ranveer's energetic performance might affect the injury. The actor will now continue shooting for Gully Boy with Alia Bhatt and Zoya Akhtar. Though it breaks our heart to not watch Ranveer's performance at the opening ceremony, we do hope that he gets well soon and takes care of his shoulder.

In a statement, a source close to the actor said, "After multiple medical check ups, the doctors have strongly advised Ranveer Singh to not 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. 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." Now that's good news, too! It looks like the actor will wrap up shoot for Gully Boy pretty soon. We will hopefully see the actor perform at another event soon perhaps.

There were rumours that he is one of the highest paid actors to perform at the IPL 2018 opening ceremony. But sources told a leading portal that it's actually Varun Dhawan who is getting paid more than anyone else. We're sure Varun's performance is going to be kickass even though we'll miss Ranveer. Varun is currently shooting for Sui Dhaaga and promoting his upcoming film with Shoojit Sircar called October.

We will not be surprised if the actor performs an act on October's popular song, Theher Ja. What do you think? Tell us in the comments below and stay tuned with us for more.
