The actor was also asked to see actual court procedures by the Chief Justice. “We welcome a very special guest of the Supreme Court of India… I don’t want a stampede in the court,” he said. Why don’t you visit the court and see the procedures in person, I asked. On a brighter note, Attorney General R Venkataramani said, “It’s a star-studded court today!”
