All roads led to the Grand Hyatt on Saturday evening. The star-studded event was held to celebrate the music release of JP Dutta's film Umrao Jaan. While the promos and songs previewed at the event were appreciated, the post-release events were equally interesting.
Dutta along with the cast and crew of the film hobnobbed on the stage. Lata Mangeshkar and Manmohan Shetty came on stage to announce the music released. Although, the film's hero, Abhishek Bachhan could not make it as he's shooting for Shaad Ali's film in Paris, his father, Amitabh Bachchan more than made up for his absence with his usual charm. Aishwarya Rai was surprised to see 70-odd media persons scrambling to get her sound bytes. It took almost half an hour for things to settle down and then Ash spoke to everyone patiently.
A visibly excited Anu Malik was ecstatic with the compliments showered on him after the music preview. An otherwise cheerful Anna Singh appeared to be a little lost. Stunt director Bhiku Verma and art director Bijon Das Gupta kept each other company. Dutta's wife Bindiya Goswami played the perfect hostess. Also, Javed Akhtar, Shabana Azmi, Divya Dutta, Puru Rajkumar, Javed Khan and Bikram Saluja were present among others.
