Gangs of Wasseypur actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, too, was present at the event.
"I was looking forward to playing a romantic role and this film came my way, which was a big thing for me and I instantly grabbed it," he added.
Meanwhile, the actor is enjoying the unique turn that his film career has taken, thanks to the roles he played in "Kahaani" and "...Wasseypur".
"I am really happy that I have entered the industry at a time when a lot of things are changing, new filmmakers are coming up, and co-incidently I have joined the movement too," Nawaz told IANS.
"The little roles I did earlier have given me confidence to play the solo lead," he added.
He was here Monday to promote his forthcoming film Chittagong along with co-star Manoj Bajpayee, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and director Bedabrata Pain.
Chittagong, which has been waiting to get released since 2008, will now see the light of the day Friday.
