"IPL matches are going to be full of entertainment...larger than life. I believe it's my duty to entertain people whether it's in films or in the IPL matches," Shah Rukh Khan, the owner of Kolkata Knight Riders along with friend Juhi Chawla and her husband Jay Mehta, told IANS.

The glamour quotient will be complete. According to Shah Rukh, Rani Mukerji, Bipasha Basu, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are expected to attend the first match.

Besides, Karan Johar, Arjun Rampal and Mehr Jessia, Karisma Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Priyanka Chopra, Amrita Arora are amongst the others who will be in Bangalore to see the cricket fiesta kick off.

Apart from inviting the proverbial galaxy of stars to cheer his team, King Khan has also launched an album 2 Hot 2 Cool to promote the Knight Riders.

"Today, you need a heavy dose of glamour for marketing everything. And Bollywood stars largely help you in promoting a product or team for that matter," said Bappi Lahiri, who has composed the music for 2 Hot 2 Cool.

If Shah Rukh has himself as the mascot of his team, Mallya has stars like Katrina Kaif.

"When Vijay asked me to be part of this venture, I couldn't say no! I share a great rapport with them and I'm looking forward to be making appearances to cheer for the Royal Challengers. I hope the team lives up to the Royal Challenge tIPoo and wins against all odds," Katrina told IANS.

She will be performing along with Zayed Khan during the match, and has also been signed up for the promotional album of the team.

And Preity Zinta, co-owner of the Mohali team, Kings XI Punjab, has teamed up with Punjabi pop singer Daler Mehndi to record an anthem for her squad.

Also, Akshay Kumar will slip into his dancing shoes for the Delhi Daredevils and Hrithik Roshan will do a jig for the Mumbai Indians, owned by Mukesh Ambani, who have tied up with Yash Raj Films upcoming movie "Tashan".
