On this occasion, Shah Rukh Khan announced “On behalf of Red Chillies and all the work that we have done, it’s a very heavily worked film at VFX and I think one of the prerequisites for being able to make a film like this is to have storage which is trustworthy and provides huge amounts of terabytes and stuff. Thank you WD for partnering with us.” Partners and winners of the Ultra Mania contest were also given an opportunity to meet and greet with the star cast.
