He continued speaking about the making of the song stating, "This song is inspired by old school Bollywood music. It is Siddharth Anand's speciality. He really loves that kind of music. We were sitting in the atrium, jab humne suna woh jo golai hai in the hook, (when we heard the loop in the hook of the song), we knew yeh chadega logon ke zabaan pe (people will love this and sing it). Shekhar went on to add, “it is like a modern qawali kind of zone where there is a repeat of lines.
Pathaan featured Shah Rukh Khana and Deepika Padukone in the role of spies along with John Abraham as the antagonist. The film released on January 25 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The action thriller already crossed the 400 crore mark last week and it is now all set to enter the 500 crore club at the domestic box office.
