According to a report published in Times of India, Kabir Khan was quoted as saying, “It’s a party song for Salman’s fans to enjoy and we ourselves were undecided about whether to incorporate it in the film’s narrative. We attached it to the end credits and that was the cut Salim saab saw. After the show, he told me that the greatness of the film is without the song.”

Kabir Khan also believes that end credit songs have become a disease which we do not need. “Only some romcoms and love stories can carry them off. I’ve seen some very good films destroyed by a song at the end. You spend two-hours creating a character who’s real and believable and, then, seeing him in garish clothes and dancing merrily destroys the vision.”

“As a director, I don’t need the song. I have enough songs in my film. But it was a marketing call and I understand that a big-budget film needs to keep generating content to create excitement in the audience without impinging on my film,” Kabir Khan added.
