After three years, Jio MAMI Mumbai Festival is back with a physical event this year. It is set to run from October 27 to November 5 at the city’s prestigious multi-cultural centre, Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre. Priyanka Chopra, the chairperson of MAMI, is now flying down to Mumbai to grace the festival. She took to her Instagram story on Thursday, October 26 to share that she is flying to Mumbai.

The actress shared a photo of her passport and her official papers and wrote, “It’s been a minute Mumbai. Cannot wait.” Earlier, News18 had exclusively learnt that on the first day of the festival, some of the biggest names of Bollywood will be coming together for a gala event. The event on the opening night will be hosted by Priyanka and Isha Ambani and the guest list includes Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Rana Daggubati, Kabir Khan, Vishal Bhardwaj, Vikramaditya Motwane and Riteish Deshmukh.

A source had earlier informed us, “The gala will be a night to remember. The biggest stars, filmmakers and starlets will be a part of the big opening night. The Ambanis are known to host some of the most memorable parties in town and this will be another interesting addition to the list. And when you have Priyanka Chopra joining hands with them and inviting some of the most popular stars and her friends from showbiz, one can imagine how impressive the turnout will be.”

The source also told us that Sonakshi Sinha, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Janhvi Kapoor are expected to attend the gala event. “Apart from them, filmmakers like Tahira Kashyap and Konkona Sensharma and newbies like Khushi Kapoor and Suhana Khan are also expected. In all probability, the Khan trifecta – Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan – might also be a part of it,” added the source.

Interestingly, this is also Priyanka’s first visit to India after cousin Parineeti Chopra’s wedding to AAP leader Raghav Chadha. While Priyanka’s fans were eagerly waiting for her arrival in India in September, the actress was busy due to her work commitments.
