Tamannaah Bhatia steps in the place of Parineeti for IPL

Ranveer Singh, Varun Dhawan, Parineeti Chopra and Jacqueline Fernandez were all set to perform at the Indian Premier League 2018 (IPL) Opening ceremony.

Last week while Ranveer opted out from performing at the event due to an injury in his shoulder and was soon replaced by Hrithik Roshan, who immediately started rehearsing for his act.

Ranveer'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."

while Parineeti opted out from the opening ceremony. She cited that as she was busy with the shoot of Namaste England, she did not get time to rehearse.

Her spokesperson also released a statement saying, "Parineeti Chopra was to perform at this year's IPL opening ceremony. She was shooting non-stop for Namaste England in Patiala and had back-to-back pre-committed endorsement commitments. So, unfortunately, she did not have enough time to rehearse in spite of her best efforts. Being a thorough professional, Parineeti spoke to Wizcraft and explained to them that she was not ok putting up a compromised performance. Wizcraft has been gracious enough to understand this and agrees with Parineeti. She would not be performing at the gala opening."

Now as per reports in a leading daily, south siren Tamannaah Bhatia has replaced Parineeti for the opening ceremony. The actor has even started rehearsing for her act in the city.
