The inaugural season of Bridgestone World Series Hockey (WSH) will see a star-studded opening — Bollywood celebrities like Saif Ali Khan, Neha Dhupia and singer Mika were expected to perform at the event last night.
Singer Harshdeep Kaur was also expected to belt out the chart-buster song Katiya Karoon from Rockstar at the opening ceremony, along with Mika, who is the voice behind songs like Tu mera hero and Dhinka chika.
Dhupia had a special dance performance, while Khan was expected to release a new song from his spy thriller Agent Vinod along with a performance.
"We have put together a star-studded opening ceremony to match the scale of any global sporting event. This is a first for hockey in India and the grand opening will be a perfect cocktail of unmatched entertainment and top drawer sporting action," Yannick Colaco, COO, Nimbus Sport, said in a statement before the event.
"Wizcraft has extensive experience in putting together international acts and has worked on the ICC World Cup and IPL. We are going to dazzle the audience in the stadium and viewers across the world with a spectacular opening ceremony."
Wizcraft International is also the franchise owner of the Delhi WSH team, the Delhi Wizards.
