The groom-to-be will be joined by football enthusiasts and actors Abhishek Bachchan, Kartik Aaryan and Shashank Khaitan. They will play the match at the Shabab Al Ahli Stadium in Dubai’s Mamzar area.

Director Shoojit Sircar, actor Aparshakti Khurrana and tennis player Leander Paes are also expected to be a part of the Bollywood-led team, owned by Bunty Walia. The starry team All Stars Football Club (ASFC), led by captain Abhishek Bachchan, will play against the team Emirates United filled with UAE sporting talents.

While Bachchan is the captain of the match organised by AG Events, Kapoor will serve as the vice captain of the team.

Kapoor,39, is the owner of the football team Mumbai City FC, which recently won the Indian Super League. In a recent visit to Dubai, Kapoor had spoken about how much he loved football and films.

“Life teaches you so much through sports. It teaches you discipline and team-work and you can apply that to your profession and different aspects of your life … It has helped me build relationships in my life,” said Kapoor during an interactive session at the now-concluded Expo 2020.
