Since the magnum opus film released last week, there's no stopping it as it has already crossed 100 crore mark in its first weekend. On the very first night of the release, there was a special screening for the celebrities and close friends. Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali came together for the very first time to celebrate the success of the film.

As there had been no promotions before the release, it was the very first time all four of them were snapped together. The lead actors Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor cut the cake marking the celebration of their film's release and the success of it.
