The star-studded opening ceremony of the Kolkata International Film Festival on Tuesday witnessed Salman Khan set the stage on fire with his dance moves alongside CM Mamata Banerjee.
Salman, Anil Kapoor, Mahesh Bhatt, Shatrughan Sinha, and Sonakshi Sinha lit the ceremonial lamp to kickstart the 12-day mega event at Netaji Indoor Stadium.
Mamata Banerjee joined Salman Khan and others on stage to dance to the music from the film she conceptualized this year. It is voiced by Arijit Singh. In a video, Salman, Mahesh Bhatt, Anil Kapoor, Sonakshi, and Shatrughan Sinha were seen grooving alongside Mamata. By their side, Sourav Ganguly could be seen clapping.

At the event, Sourav Ganguly said, “Welcome to Kolkata, my favourite Mr Salman Khan. It’s a coincidence that I have met him for the first time here in person. In all these years, this is the first time I have met him in person and I said that when I saw him down it’s unfortunate that we never met before.”
Clad in all-black, Salman charmed the local crowds at the airport and later during the glitzy opening act that celebrated the glory of cinema with felicitations, film screenings, and musical performances.
The Tiger 3 star’s infectious energy seems to have made the festivities even more lively in the City of Joy.
