The film, which has been generating buzz since its formal pooja ceremony, is touted as an action-packed, globe-trotting adventure.

The intimate Hindu wedding ceremony brought together close family members, including cousins Parineeti Chopra and Mannara Chopra. Sharing moments from the joyous occasion, Priyanka posted, “To a lifetime of love, laughter, sunshine, and happiness. #SidNee ki shaadi!
