It¡¯s an exciting crossover, we had a lot of fun making it. I think Siddharth wanted to raise the bar in terms of the woman, the protagonist singing the song being very sensual, very empowered. It's sexy and fun, and it¡¯s a great groove that people are really going to enjoy dancing to it.¡±
Shekhar added, ¡°Besharam Rang¡¯s inspiration in all the old beautiful melodies we¡¯ve grown up listening to, but infused with today¡¯s vibe and sound. Siddharth and us go back a long way. It is one of those rare working relationships that is driven by a huge amount of passion, love for music and an ability to instantly grasp what we are collectively trying to achieve musically. The reason for the success of our combination lies in the joy of the process of making music and this joy is palpable when the audience hears the song.¡±
