The song is sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Vishal Dadlani, with music by Ajay-Atul and lyrics penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya. The video has been choreographed by the very talented, Prabhudeva.

 

 

The director of the film, Vijay Krishna Acharya, said in a statement, “It is amazing that we could write a suitable moment in the film that sees these two icons of Indian cinema shake a leg with each other and the song will stand out because of their infectious energy and camaraderie. The song presents Mr. Bachchan and Aamir Khan in the mood to celebrate. I have to reveal, the sequence will show them getting drunk during the celebrations and then breaking out to dance on this high energy number. It is a priceless moment that we have captured in Thugs of Hindostan.”

Aamir, who tweeted the song, said that he had a ball. “Was so excited to do a song with Mr Bachchan, that for the 1st time in my career I have enjoyed dancing!” he wrote.
