Enlarge ImageRanveer Singh is having the time of his life. The actor has not only had a great run at the box-office but he is also the undisputed king of social media in India. And now the actor adds another feather to his already crowded cap.

The actor, known for his infectious energy levels, will be a part of this six-hour long concert to be held in November.

The actor, a livewire on stage, will perform to a medley of his hits. Says a source, “With this performance, Ranveer follows up on his recent stage performance alongside Major Lazer. He was one of the most obvious choices to open for Coldplay.”

The Global Citizen Campaign, which brings a series of concerts around the world to address the issue of poverty, will open with a star-studded event in September in New York with Rihanna, Demi Lovato and others. The Global Citizen Festival comes to India for its first initiative with the much-anticipated event in Mumbai, where internationally recognised artists will perform, has world leaders and the Indian political leadership focusing on driving sustainable change through direct engagement with the youth.
