Deepika Padukone, who is due in September, is all set to attend the grand event held in Mumbai on Wednesday. The grand pre-release event will also have veteran stars Prabhas and Kamal Haasan in attendance. Amitabh Bachchan is also likely to be in attendance. On Tuesday, Baahubali star Prabhas was spotted in the city. He was seen wearing an oversized t-shirt, sweats and a casual jacket for the trip. Meanwhile, veteran star Kamal Haasan arrived on Wednesday. Other cast members including Disha Patani are also expected to attend the mega event. The sci-fi film, reportedly made on a budget of Rs 600 crores, will hit the theatres on June 27.

In March, Deepika, along with her husband Ranveer Singh, shared her pregnancy news in a joint Instagram post. This was just before the couple went to Jamnagar to attend Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding bash. The couple, who dated for a few years after their 2013 film Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, tied the knot in November 2018. Almost after five years of their marriage, the couple is expecting their first child together.
