Shahrukh not performing at Commonwealth Games

Bollywood takes the centre stage at almost all the big events in India. But for a change, the much-awaited Commonwealth Games 2010 will keep away from Bollywood masala.

It was rumoured that Shahrukh Khan would perform at the opening ceremony of the event on October 3 but the organisers confirmed that the actor, or any other Bollywood actor for that matter, would not perform.

Instead, Indian dance, songs and culture will be showcased at the CWG opening ceremony at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. However, Oscar winning composer A.R. Rahman will be performing a few songs including the latest version of the CWG anthem.
