The wish comes soon after the makers revealed first-look posters of the lead stars. Ranbir's poster showed him with a blood-soaked hand and the caption, "Ishq bhi. Jung bhi (There's love and war as well)."Alia appeared in what looks like a cabaret dancer-inspired look. Her caption read, "Aag bhi, dilon ki jaan bhi! (She's a queen of the hearts and there's fire as well)."Vicky's poster highlighted his intense gaze, with the line, "Nazre milengi, lekin hatengi nahin! (Eyes will meet, but you can't escape it)."

Shoot wrapped, post-production next

The team finished filming earlier this month. Bhansali and the crew gave an emotional farewell to the whole unit, and the director is now expected to focus on post-production.
