When a fan asked whether the evening was an organised event, Vishal said, "It wasn't an event. We were at a dinner together, and he just went 'let's go play somewhere'! And, boom!" he said.





Also present at the session at Hauz Khas Village's eatery joint was actress Freida Pinto, stand-up comedy group AIB and musician Raghu Dixit, among others.
