Producer Ronnie Rodrigues marked the official launch of his first Hindi film, Maine Pyaar Kiya Phir Se, with a lavish Muhrat Bhoomi event in Mumbai. The event was a double celebration, the film’s muhurat and his sons, Charles and Caaden, turning 11.

The glittering awards night at Hotel Sahara Star was peppered with Bollywood heavyweights like Dharmendra, Arbaaz Khan, Udit Narayan, Vidya Malavade, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra, and the list goes on. The evocative and jubilant ceremony began with joyous Ganesh Vandana, followed by a traditional floral welcome and then a very special performance by Bollywood star Udit Narayan.
