Commenting on the same, Alia Bhatt told a leading entertainment portal, ” There are so many layers to look forward to that I’m not sure which one to pick. First and foremost, the pleasure and honour of working with Sanjay sir once again. Under his guidance and gaze… you can go anywhere with him. His attention to detail, and his attention to you. I’m, as an audience, so excited to see him and Ranbir collaborate again after so many years. I’m like, ‘Wow, what that’s going to be like!’ Then there’s me and Vicky (Kaushal) coming together again. Ranbir and Vicky again… they created magic with Sanju. Lot of combinations. But of course, at the end of the day, the trick is to keep your head down and work, and not let the other excitement get in the way. The excitement about the film and the material is most important.”
The film is slated to release on December 25, 2025.
