Rani continued, “I was wearing a red saree in that song, and I actually froze. I couldn’t walk. And one of my cousins, who was also AD-ing him, Ayan, he had to literally carry me to my car, because I had frozen… If you see the song, in the lip-sync, my lips are frozen. I’m trying to sing it, and it looks sensuous, but it’s not sensuous actually.” Karan joked that another time, when they were shooting in -13 temperature, Rani was supposed to say the word ‘garden’, but she couldn’t say it correctly because it was so cold. “I can’t tell you what it was coming out as,” Karan said.

Released last year, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani was Karan’s first feature film as director in over seven years. Starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, the film emerged as a critical and commercial hit, grossing over Rs 350 crore worldwide. In a media interaction prior to the film’s release, Alia thanked the crew for taking care of her during the challenging shoot for the song, which took place just three months after she’d given birth. “You don’t see the heaters around, the leg warmers I had on, and how Ranveer, who was wearing jackets, would keep putting them on me in-between takes to provide some respite. But I must praise myself a bit, I am a trooper in that sense. I go with the flow and I am always focused on getting the job done. Wearing a puffer jacket over that chiffon saree would have taken away the beauty, so I was happy doing it as I got to live my dream,” she said.
