Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, co-owns another IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders, along with actress Juhi Chawla. During the IPL 2018 auctions,

Meanwhile, actor Ranveer Singh, who was supposed to perform at the opening ceremony of IPL, had to back out due to his shoulder injury. Ranveer got injured during a football match and has been advised not to perform. "After multiple medical check-ups, 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," Ranveer's spokesperson said in a statement, news agency IANS reported.
