Further questioning those who are targeting TikTok, the actor said that there are many other products from China that are being used and questioned why TikTok is at the receiving end of the hate. He added that they are being targeted for ''entertaining people and bringing a smile on their faces''. Aslam Khan feels that they should be encouraged to churn out more content because it is high time for people to start promoting new talents. 

He stressed that it is exactly what he is doing and assured people that he will keep doing so. The actor further said that he is not concerned about the views on the song. Khan continued that he will keep promoting new talent irrespective of whether they are TikTokers or not.

Revealing some details about the song, Aslam Khan said that it is a complete masala song. He added that it looks like a song out of a David Dhawan film rather than a single because of its storyline and a thrilling yet beautiful end. The actor also confessed that the song has been one of the most difficult projects that he had to shoot and edit.
