Former captains of Team India have also been invited and will be felicitated during the ceremony. With over 1 lakh people are expected to be present during the Closing Ceremony.
First time ever, the IPL Closing Ceremony will be broadcast in augmented reality (AR). In all, over 700 people will be performing at the event.
“The first challenge is to make the event friendly for the in-stadium audience. Although the event will be broadcast live, you will also need to device the event for the offline crowd who are there at the stadium. So, you can’t just focus your entire performance towards the camera. So, you have to device a plan so that everyone can be part of the experience,” Chanda Singh added.
“Our main attraction would AR Rahman and his troops besides Ranveer Singh. We will have folk artists coming from all over India. We will have folk artists from all 10 states celebrating the 10 teams. There will also be different folk performers as multiple states have varied culture,” Chanda Singh added.
