PTC Web Desk: Renowned pop icon Rihanna, known for her rare private appearances, is set to dazzle at the pre-wedding  celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant with a jaw-dropping performance fee ranging between $8-$9 million (Rs 66 to 74 crore), as per a report in India Today.

The extravagant celebrations kick off today (March 1) with the opening event titled 'An Evening in Everland.' Rihanna and her entourage touched down in Gujarat's Jamnagar on February 29, capturing the attention of paparazzi as they exited the airport.

The buzz surrounding Rihanna's appearance hints at a spectacular set encompassing a medley of her chart-toppers, including solo hits like 'Diamonds.' A substantial portion of the budget for her performance is dedicated to transporting intricate stage equipment and facilitating numerous outfit changes for both Rihanna and her background singers. Notably, Rihanna's last stage appearance was at the 2023 Super Bowl half-time show, drawing an impressive audience of close to 121.017 million viewers, solidifying its status as one of the most-watched Super Bowl events.

This isn't the first time an international music sensation graces an Ambani wedding; in 2018, Beyoncé mesmerised the audience at Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal’s sangeet, reportedly commanding a fee of close to $4 million (Rs 33 crore). Joining Rihanna on the star-studded performance roster is Diljit Dosanjh, while world-renowned illusionist David Blaine is slated for a captivating act.

Jamnagar is currently abuzz with the arrival of numerous celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan and his family, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, 'Jawan' director Atlee, and his family, marking the anticipation for what is being hailed as the biggest wedding of the year.
