In an interview with Times of India, Ganesh shared that it was great fun to work with Shah Rukh as the two collaborated after a long time. He further praised SRK's dedication and energy.
Ganesh shared,"'It was great fun to work with Shah Rukh because we collaborated after a long time. If you expect a hundred percent from him, he gives a thousand percent. We were shooting in scorching heat. But Shah Rukh's dedication and energy was remarkable. I am happy to have worked with him after a long time and people are liking the song."
He further added, "SRK rehearsed with my assistants. Raju and I had planned the whole thing. These days, we shoot the song, edit it, and give it to the director. There's a difference in this song and other songs of Shah Rukh. We tried not to give him moves where he can spread his arms. We have given him steps mostly involving his legs."
