Farhan Akhtar's patriotic tribute 120 Bahadur will release in theatres on November 21. Ahead of its release, the makers hosted a star-studded screening in Mumbai on Wednesday night. Who's who from the Bollywood and sports worlds attended the event, making it one of the biggest nights in recent times.
In one of the viral videos, Ranveer Singh, dressed in a black pathani kurta, is seen greeting star cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. Ranveer hugged him, shared a laugh, and chatted with him on the red carpet. Sachin was accompanied by his wife, Anjali Tendulkar. Ranveer is also seen shaking hands with her.
The shutterbugs were eager to capture the two stalwarts in one frame, but the stars didn't pose for the cameras.
Take a look:
Farhan Akhtar arrived at the venue with his wife, Shibani Dandekar. Hrithik Roshan, Saba Azad, Kajol, Karan Johar, Anupam Kher, Randeep Hooda, Tabu, Rekha, and director Rajkumar Hirani turned up to cheer for the team.
Rekha looked as ethereal as ever in a white Kanjeevaram saree.
Kajol opted for an Indo-western yellow kurta for the starry night.
Hrithik Roshan, a close friend and collaborator of Farhan Akhtar, was also present to support the star.
