It was a packed auditorium in Juhu PVR. The song 'Galti Se Mistake' from Jagga Jasoos was launched today. The curiosity around the film is intense but the tremendous media interest for today's event was centred around the joint presence of Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. Amidst speculation that the duo won't be promoting the film together, they not only came together but the warm camaraderie and mutual respect that they displayed today was heart-warming.

Katrina and Ranbir shared funny anecdotes related to the shooting of the film. They pulled each other’s legs. When a few of the 'loaded question grenades' were lobbed at them, they diffused them with good natured amiableness rather than retorting sharply. Katrina light-heartedly said that considering the amount of time that she has invested in the film then she might as well have her name in the credits list as a producer. Following are a few of the highlights of today's press conference. They are not the exact quotes but we are trying our best to communicate what was actually said:

1) Anurag Basu disclosed that there are approximately 20 songs in the film.

2) Ranbir stated that both she and Katrina will promote the film jointly. They will have a few promotional activities in June and then will promote more aggressively in July.
