Among the early birds from the film fraternity were Amitabh who came with wife Jaya, director Subhash Ghai, Anupam Kher, Imran Khan and his wife Avantika.

Industrialist Anil Ambani and his wife Tina Ambani were also among the early ones to pay their homage to the actor, who died of kidney failure after a week's hospitalization.

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Chhagan Bhujbal too came to pay his tributes to the legend.

A lot of security personnel have been deployed in the area and also within the Blue Heaven Society complex because the actor's house is in a high security zone and lies close to the residence of the Maharashtra chief minister.
