Along with American rapper Lil’ baby, Bollywood actor Siddhant Chaturvedi is set to represent India in the FIFA World Cup anthem. The anthem will be released at the FIFA World Cup Finals and will be directed by X.
The “Gehraiyaan” actor posted a number of photos from the anthem shoot on Instagram on Sunday. He can be seen posing with rapper Lil Baby in the photos while rocking a red, loose-fitting T-shirt and a handsome appearance. He also shared the jersey with his name on it.
In the captions, he wrote, “ FIFA anthem loading… @lilbaby by @directorx”
The highly anticipated FIFA World Cup 2022 is being held in Qatar from 20 November to 18 December. 32 teams have participated in this once-in-four-year football extravaganza.
Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, the Netherlands, England, Iran, the United States, Wales, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland, France, Australia, Denmark, Tunisia, Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan, Belgium, Canada, Morocco, and Croatia; Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon, Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, and South Korea comprise the teams.
France is the defending champion, having won their second title in 2018 after defeating Croatia in the final. They will be aiming to defend their crown against the world-class competition offered by these aforementioned teams. It will be the final World Cup tournament for Lionel Messi, the Argentina striker considered one of the greatest footballers of all time. It is also highly likely that 37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo will don the Portuguese colours for one final time.
This marks the first time the Middle East is hosting the event. It is also the first time the World Cup is being held outside the typical June-July window, in order to avoid the desert heat during the summers in Qatar. Eight stadiums across Qatar are hosting the 64 matches of this tournament.
Coming back to Siddhant’s work front, he was recently seen in ‘Phone Bhoot’ alongside Katrina Kaif, Ishaan Khatter, and Jackie Shroff. He will be next seen in ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ with Ananya Panday and Adarsh Gourav. He will also be seen in Ravi Udyawar’s directorial, ‘Yudhra’.
