Actor Daniel Bruhl showcased himself at the cinema wearing a casual T-shirt and an open, dark blue jacket on a special runway.

However, there was the fear of being caught when attempting such a big role. That's truly exhilarating." His tireless efforts to understand the man behind the magnanimous persona continued till the final day.
