MUMBAI: The makers of "Sanju", which is creating waves at the box-office, have hosted a grand success party of their film here which was attended by the film's cast and crew.

Ranbir Kapoor, who plays the titular role of Sanjay Dutt, has had the highest opening of his career in "Sanju". He kept it casual as he opted for a black tee and ripped denim in the party on a rainy Monday night.

Rajkumar Hirani's "Sanju" features Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Dia Mirza, Anushka Sharma, Sonam Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Jim Sarbh, Boman Irani, Aditi Gautam, and Karishma Tanna in key roles.

Manisha Koirala, who plays Sanjay Dutt's mother Nargis Dutt in the film, opted for a classic white and blue combination.

Dia Mirza, who stepped into the shoes of Dutt's wife Maanayata arrived in a glittering gold dress with husband Sahil Sangha. She was all smiles as she posed for the camera.

Karishma Tanna, who had kept mum about her character in the film, attended the bash in a stylish pink-nude coloured dress.

Arshad Warsi, who had earlier grabbed attention for his remarks on Ranbir Kapoor playing Sanjay Dutt, also posed for the shutterbugs.
