Ritesh Sidhwani's birthday bash was indeed a star-studded affair. His close buddies from the industry marked their presence and made it a night to remember. One of the guests was our very own global icon Priyanka Chopra.

She was snapped while entering the venue in her car. Priyanka was seen wearing a fresh off the runway top from designer Shweta Kapur's collection. She paired her sequined, V-neck, bat wing sleeve top with a pair of frayed hem jeans. Casually tousled hair and a pair of silver pumps from Lulu and Sky rounded her look out.

Reportedly, Priyanka is in town to wrap up her brand shoots and finalize a male lead for her next film Gustakhiyan. The movie, which is being produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, might be co-produced by Priyanka. While initially names like Irrfan Khan, Abhishek Bachchan were being thrown to play the role of Sahir Ludhianvi, nothing has been made official.

A source informed a tabloid, "The film's leading man has to be finalised within this month. Though Bhansali is neck deep in work with Padmavati, he wants to start this film by mid-2018. The film's pre-production has to be completed latest by March next year. So working backwards, the lead cast has to be decided before the pre-production begins."

Piggy Chops will also design the promotional strategy for her Sikkimese production Pahuna. The movie is slated for a World premiere at Toronto Film Festival in September.

Also spotted at the bash were Ritesh's close buddy and partner Farhan Akhtar. The multi-talented filmmaker's ex-wife Adhuna Bhabani arrived with their daughter Akira Akhtar at the party. Arbaaz Khan, Malaika Arora, Sohail Khan and others also attended Ritesh's birthday bash.
