Sohel Sheikh said, “We want to create a vibe through the gala. Do we need anything more if Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif are there? We are all set for 8 December programme.”

“Salman-Katrina performs together very rare. We’re trying to make the combination here. Hope that the programme will be a different one," Sohel added.

However, the curtain of the opening ceremony will rise at 5:00pm on the scheduled day as the first match will kick off on 11 December.
