Deepika Padukone, the reigning queen of
Bollywood, recently turned heads at the Mumbai pre-release event for the upcoming sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD. The actress, who is expecting her first child with husband Ranveer Singh, embraced her baby bump with radiant confidence.
The event's theme seemed to be dark, with most of the stars wearing dark or black-colored outfits.
Deepika Padukone, who has rarely been seen in public since her
pregnancy, made a stylish appearance at the event in a simple yet stunning black outfit, looking radiant and in good spirits. When two of the biggest superstars in Indian cinema share a stage, you can't help but watch and admire. Prabhas kept his casual, low-key style with a simple long tee, faded black jeans, and his signature yellow-tinted shades. Amitabh Bachchan looked youthful in a black hoodie, cargo pants, and red-rimmed glasses.
Padukone opted for a stunning Loewe Anagram Pebble Dress, a choice that accentuated her growing figure with elegance. The dress complemented her exquisite Cartier jewelry of Rs. 1.16 crore , which included a trio of diamond bracelets. The most captivating piece was the Panthère de Cartier bracelet, crafted from 18K white gold and adorned with dazzling emeralds and diamonds, reportedly valued at a staggering Rs 53,50,000.
The Juste un Clou bracelet and a Panthère de Cartier bracelet in rose gold completed her ensemble, showcasing her affinity for timeless luxury pieces. Deepika's radiant smile and effortless elegance left a lasting impression, solidifying her status as a fashion icon both on and off-screen.
'Kalki 2898 AD' is director Nag Ashwin's third film, following 'Yevade Subramanyam' and 'Mahanati'. All three films have been produced by Swapna Dutt and Aswini C. Dutt under the Vyjayanthi Movies banner.
