According to the Gulf News, Deepika Padukone might also share the stage with Shah Rukh and Madhuri.

"Shah Rukh will interact with the guests and invite them on stage for some impromptu song-dance entertainment. For a full-fledged performance, Madhuri has been confirmed," a source was quoted in Gulf News.

The first part of the seventh edition has been shifted to the UAE in the wake of General Elections in India.

The UAE leg will host the first 20 matches from April 16 to 30, while the remaining 40 will be hosted by India from May 2. The final will be played on June 1.
