One of the most prestigious awards ceremonies, Filmfare Awards, will be held at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium in Mumbai on 15 January. However, a pre-party was organised recently that was attended by several Bollywood stars.

The 61^st Britannia Filmfare Awards 2016 will honour Bollywood celebrities who entertained viewers last year with performances, commercially successful films and critically acclaimed films of 2015.

Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, Sonam Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Karan Johar, Ayushmann Khurrana, Bhumi Pednekar, Dino Morea, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Kartik Aryan, Sophie Choudhary, Manish Paul, Aditi Rao Hydari and Radhika Apte graced the red carpet on Saturday.

The "Bajirao Mastani" actor was seen welcoming Sonam, Karan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his former girlfriend Anushka to the event. Ranveer surprised everyone in a normal tucked out shirt and blazer, unlike the appearances he made at previous awards shows.

While Sonam chose to wear a velvet black gown with part-sheer sleeves and sheer plunging neckline, "Wazir" actress Aditi Rao Hydari looked stunning in an Encrustd suit. All the Bollywood stars were in their best attire at the Filmfare pre-award party.

Also seen at the event were R Madhavan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Richa Chadha, Sushant Singh Rajput, Gurmeet Choudhary, Sanah Kapoor, Jimmy Shergill, Athiya Shetty, Sooraj Pancholi, Tusshar Kapoor, Armaan Malik and others.
