Talking about the same, Ali expressed, "It was great to be there alongside Shaunak and Guneet as a representative of Indian cinema. 'All That Breathes' is one of the most iconic films I have seen in the recent past and to be there to see the film and our cinema being celebrated was truly a proud moment".

The luncheon was attended by Hollywood big wigs including international superstar, Tom Cruise.
