Enter Ranveer Singh and the entire crowd gets a jolt of enthusiasm as he makes a grand appearance, mounting on a wooden platform with a giant wheel structure on the back, descending from the sky. Decked up in an uber-cool all-white ensemble comprising a round-neck tee, trousers, and sneakers, the Gunday actor sent fireworks, illuminating the stadium premises, with A.R. Rahman’s Jai Ho song playing in the background.
Ranveer Singh matched beats with a bunch of super hit Bollywood songs including Zinda, and Koi Kahe, concluding the dance performance with Shah Rukh Khan’s soul-stirring title song from Chak De India as the Indian flag hoisted behind him. Later, the tinsel town superstar changed his attire to some dazzling blue and yellow jackets and waved the Indian flag, sporting a big smile.
