The Vizag leg will see a total of seven league matches over the next three days, and South superstar Rana Daggubati has been roped in as one of the brand ambassadors of Pro Kabaddi League 2016, and Bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari of "Wazir" and "Rockstar" fame, will also be seen adding to the patriotic fervour by singing the national anthem.
