All core producers were also seen gracing the event.
Adding to the growing buzz, renowned sitar player Rishab Rikhiram Sharma shared a series of pictures with the film’s cast and crew on social media.
Rishab, a disciple of legendary sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar, was seen posing alongside stars Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, along with director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra.
