NEW DELHI: Glitz, glamour and game. The opening ceremony of the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket tournament will see a lot of fireworks in Chennai Tuesday - from American pop icon Katy Perry's performance to Indian dancing sensation Prabhu Deva's act to Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan's poetry recitation.
The performer line-up is impressive.
A huge highlight of the ceremony, to be held at the YMCA Grounds in Chennai, is pop icon Katy Perry.
The singer, who tied the knot with now estranged husband Russell Brand, in India in 2010 , returns to the country to give her maiden performance at the ceremony. She is set to enthrall the audience with her hits like "Fireworks" and "California Gurls".
"Katy will add a different flavour to the event. She is coming down April 2, but leaving almost in a jiffy after her performance," said Joseph.
