In the interest of harmony, several Bollywood actors like Priyanka Chopra, Ranbir Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar, Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor and Sophie Choudhary urged the people to maintain peace once the Ayodhya verdict is out, at a press conference in Mumbai on Thursday.

The actors were joined by filmmakers Madhur Bhandarkar and Sajid Khan and producers Sajid Nadiadwala and Ritesh Sidhwani.

Additional Police Commissioner (Mumbai-West) Amitabh Gupte was also present at the press conference.

Though the Supreme Court on Thursday deferred the verdict till September 28, Ranbir and Priyanka's film Anjaana Anjaani, which was postponed from September 24 to October 1 in view of the verdict, will release next month as planned.

Aarti Chhabria

Also in Mumbai, Aarti Chhabria is spotted at the launch of Dus Tola, an upcoming movie starring Manoj Bajpayee and Aarti.

The film, partnered by Gitanjali Lifestyle, is produced under the banner of Aryan Brothers Entertainment Pvt. Ltd and is directed by Ajoy.

Dus Tola is inspired by the folk tales passed on from one generation to another, and is a simply story of victory of goodness over greed. The film is set in Sonapur, a quaint little town that has its share of eccentrics.

Shankar (Manoj Bajpayee), the local goldsmith, is head-over-heels in love with his neighbour's daughter Suvarnalata (Aarti Chhabria) much to the chagrin of her father Daya Shastri (Dilip Prabahvalkar).

Shastri is bent upon finding her a suitable groom from Dubai and cover her with gold at the wedding, which will help him climb up the social ladder. Armed with nothing but a heart of pure gold, Shankar sets out to overcome the obstacles of devious plots and heartache.
