Iconic star Amitabh Bachchan and Pakistan
classical singer Shafaqat Amanat Ali is on cloud9 right now, as they
will sing the National Anthem before the start of the marquee
India-Pakistan World Twenty20 cricket match at the Eden Gardens on 19
March.
Amitabh confirmed the news by retweeting a
post on his Twitter handle that read, "The president was involved and
the plan was on for a long time." The Cricket Association of Bengal
wrote this was an effort by its president Sourav Ganguly.
This match will not just bring to
countries together but two leading personalities to perform. Fan just
can't wait to see them together! While Amitabh will sing the National
Anthem, Pakistani singer Shafaqat Amanat Ali will also make their
presence felt by singing the Pakistani National Anthem.
