Arjun Kapoor adds that although one either feels like "killing someone" or dancing to this song from Panipat because of its energy, he had to sit through the entire song holding a regal posture. Music composers Ajay Atul can be seen working with Ashutosh Gowarikar. The video also shows how the song was recorded in the studio under the watchful eyes of the music directors.
