Mumbai, April 17 -- The final weekend of the Indian Premiere League (IPL) is gearing up to end on a high note. A bevy of stars will add glam to the cricketainment as the curtains come down on its Season Three. First, at the IPL Awards, on April 23, followed by the Grande Finale on April 25.

The list of performers at both galas is as closely guarded a secret as a NASA satellite launch. What is known is that Shah Rukh Khan, co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, and director-buddy Karan Johar will be hosting the awards show that is looking up to the duo's zany sense of humour to up the fun quotient.

A source from Cineyug, the event management company which is organising the event, adds that Shilpa Shetty, co-owner of Rajasthan Royals, will be hosting a couple of segments with Khan and Johar as well. "Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif will be performing to some of their recent chartbusters, but I can't tell you which ones, since we are still working on the creatives," adds the source. Talks are on with a couple of other stars as well.

The highpoint of the Grand Finale will be an act by Hrithik Roshan. "Apart from his previous hits, Hrithik will dance to two tracks from his forthcoming home-production, Kites, which are at the top of the charts currently. He has sung one of the songs, but won't be singing it at the event," reveals our source. Bipasha Basu, whose act is being worked on, may pair up with Roshan for one segment.

Oscar winner AR Rahman is another big draw. Apart from crooning the Academy Award winning 'Jai ho...' from Slumdog Millionaire, the music maestro will also be collaborating with the international group, Sugababes for the event.
