In the red carpet picture, Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya could be seen dressed up in black tuxedos. Anurag wrote along with it, “Wo aa gaya!!! WO AA GAYA. Meri film ke liye WO AA GAYA (Look, he has come, he has come for my film).” He was taking reference from the iconic song Piya Tu Ab To Aaja from Caravan (1971), which featured Helen. Last year’s Netflix film Monica, O My Darling, was itself a reference to the popular song by RD Burman and Asha Bhosle.

Vikramaditya Motwane, on Instagram stories, had also shared a glimpse of the standing ovation Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon received at Cannes 2023 on Saturday. Apart from a video of the audience, the filmmaker also shared close-up shots of Martin as well as actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro from the premiere. He also shared a glimpse of the film’s opening on the big screen.
