It is meant for a theatrical experience. I have seen the film, and it's looking beautiful. It's brilliantly made. I am not saying because I am in it, but to see Ranbir Kapoor in this part is very refreshing", Vaani said to Pinkvilla. ## "I loved Karan Malhotra's Agneepath too. He has made a film which provides entertainment to all segment people, all kinds of audiences. The makers are waiting for the right time when one has 100 percent occupancy in theatres. It's a kind of film that requires the theatrical experience", she added. ## It is the first time Vaani is sharing screen space with both Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt. The actress was recently seen alongside Akshay Kumar in the spy thriller movie, Bell Bottom, which was released in theaters on August 19.
