Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra to Open IPL Season 5 - No Shahrukh Khan?

However, another whose name has been mentioned is Amitabh Bachchan. A report from Bollywood Life indicates that the actor, who recently had two abdominal surgeries, is planning to be a part of the opening ceremony. Senior Bachchan tweeted about his excitement over participating in the event, saying:

"Asia Cup over soon and then IPL …opening extravaganza in Chennai .. and yours truly a small part of it …nervous as hell. April 3 is the day for the opening, preparing for it already…getting back into the grind."

The IPL is the Indian Premier League for cricket. This fifth season is scheduled to have nine teams competing in a total of 76 matches spanning April and May of 2012. The opening ceremony will take place in Chennai.

While Salman Khan will be on hand along with Priyanka Chopra for performances, there has been no reports of SRK's involvement. Shahrukh is the owner of one of the teams, the Kolkata Knight Riders, so he is likely to be seen a lot during the season as his team competes. While he's co-starred with Priyanka Chopra in "Don 2," he probably thought it best not to be up on stage with her, or Salman (for other reasons), for now!

What do you think of the news that Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra will appear at the IPL season 5 opening ceremony? Are you excited for their appearances?
