When Karan Johar launched his new film -- the Agneepath remake -- at Mumbai's Four Seasons hotel, all the stars turned up!

We managed to catch a glimpse of Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka driving in together, making us wonder whether they're just neighbours or 'really good friends'. What do you think?

Incidentally, Priyanka stars in the film, taking over from Madhavi, who starred in the original.
