Kolkata, April 6 :  Bollywood actors Hrithik Roshan and Anushka Sharma arrived here on Monday, a day ahead of their much-awaited performance at the Indian Premier League (IPL) inaugural.

Hrithik, Anushka and Shahid Kapoor are set to enthrall spectators at the opening ceremony at the Salt Lake Stadium.
