"Virat had been training in Bangalore for the upcoming tournament. He flew down to Mumbai for a few hours just to be present at the screening of Anushka's film," says a source, adding that the actress was keen to show her latest film to him since she is playing a wrestler for the first time on screen.

Anushka's family also turned up at the screening to cheer for her. Her brother, Karnesh, was seen exiting with the couple at 1 am after the movie. There was no other celeb from the film industry. When media photographers got wind of the two watching the film, they waited outside the studio for hours to snap them.
"The media was expecting Anushka and Virat to step out of the back door and was stationed there, but the duo decided to trick them by exiting from the main entry. Eventually, they ended up being photographed in the car," adds the source.
