We've changed the lyrics, but the hook line remains the same. The song however doesn't showcase a love story but a new-age relationship between Shahid and Kiara. Even the choreography is contemporary. We are shooting on a club set in Film City. We also filmed in a parking lot on Sunday to give the video an underground kind of a feel," informs choreographer Sanjay Shetty, adding that Shahid is super excited and looks like a rockstar."He adds, "Even Kiara is a fab dancer."
