Ranveer Singh became the highlight of the event as he made a rare appearance amid the success of Dhurandhar. Several videos from the event, starring Singh, have surfaced online. In them, Singh is seen with his infectious energy as he recreates some dialogues from the film with a big smile.

“Assalamualaikum Lyari”

In one of the videos, Ranveer Singh brought back the memories of menacing Rehman Dakait, played by Akshaye Khanna. He recreated the hit scene where Rehman Dakait addressed the people of Lyari during a political rally. In a similar tone, Singh matched Khanna's aura at the event when he said, “Assalamualaikum Lyari,” before bursting into a laugh.

“Ghar ki yaad nahi aayi tujhe Jassi”

He didn't stop there. He also greeted the audience with yet another viral dialogue-- "Ghar ki yaad nahi aayi tujhe Jassi". The dialogue was originally directed towards Ranveer Singh's character, Jaskirat Singh Rangi, in the film.

The crowd is heard responding to Singh's dialogue with loud cheers at the venue. "Thank you, everybody," the Dhurandhar star responded to them.
