Production details
'A high-tempo beat with an edgy sound'
The song was filmed at SNDT College, with the set being put together in just one day.
Martis said, "It's a high-fashion, stylised video that captures moments from the film in a very engaging way."
"The song is composed by Pritam and has a high-tempo beat with an edgy sound, so we've built an equally edgy set around it."
"Hopefully, all these elements come together to create a visually empowering song."
Different elements
'They reflect and depict elements of the film's story...'
Martis added, "The highlight for me is the series of abstract setups we've created."
"They reflect and depict elements of the film's story, but through a futuristic lens, giving us room to really stylise the visuals."
"It's a high-energy video, and seeing Saif Ali Khan create that kind of energy is exciting."
"He and the rest of the cast are fantastic actors, but packaging their performances into this particular visual world was the challenge."
