The screening organised by the makers of the thriller was a star-studded affair. Rekha’s presence was particularly notable as she expressed genuine admiration for Janhvi.

Instagram was filled with touching tributes, with one user commenting, “Rekha ji aaj Sridevi ji ki tarah se Janhvi ko pyar aur aashirwad dene aayi hai, unki aankhon mein voh Mamta dikhti hai… (Rekha is here to bless Janhvi.
