Veteran actor Chiranjeet Chakraborty said, “If we talk about this song, shooting the entire music sequence depends on the director to sync the lips with the song.

"At the end when the edited version comes out, it's like magic. I personally feel like it's perfect and goes perfectly with the situation.”
