Hockey World Cup 2018: Salman Khan leaves fans enthralled at Barabati stadium of Cuttack!

Cuttack: After Shah Rukh Khan left fans swooning with his appearance he made with a hockey stick in hand a day ago during Hockey World Cup 2018 inauguration at Bhubhaneshwar's Kalinga stadium, now it was the turn of another superstar Khan. Over 30,000 people on Wednesday evening thronged the Barabati Stadium here to witness the second leg of the inaugural function of the World Cup Men's Hockey tournament. Renowned music composer A R Rahman, who had performed at the inaugural ceremony at Bhubaneswar on Tuesday, enthralled the crowd with his signature tunes.
