Speaking with Hindustan Times, the composer said that the audience does not ‘even know the name of the original singers - Amar Jalal and IP Singh. He said they only know his name because he has recreated the song.

He added that this step of recreating the song and picturising it on Ayushmann Khurrana and Nora Fatehi will help the original singers in getting noticed. He said they are just becoming a window for these people to come out in the mainstream

He also mentioned that the original singers loved the recreation and they thanked him for putting the song in the film. Tansihk said that he ensures that when he is recreating a song, the original singers ‘get the credit and royalty.’
