Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will not be performing at the Oct 3 opening ceremony of the Commonwealth
Games (CWG), organisers said Tuesday.
"Shah Rukh is definitely not performing at the opening ceremony. However, I don't know if he is planning to attend the
event or if he has received any invite from the organising committee. But he is not performing, " Viraf Sarkari, director of
Wizcraft International Entertainment, told over phone from Mumbai.
The opening ceremony of the Oct 3-14 mega sports event will be a mélange of Indian dances and songs, said Sarkari.
Wizcraft is behind the cultural evening at the event.
Oscar winning composer A. R. Rahman will be performing a few songs, apart from the latest version of the CWG anthem.
But the Bollywood quotient will take a back seat as India's cultural heritage will rule the stage on D-day, added Sarkari.
The opening ceremony will take place at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
