Nora further stated that she doesn’t have any memories of the original track. “However, the lyrics of this song are so deep and powerful, they evoke a certain kind of emotion. So when I first heard it, I knew that this would be an intense music video. And paired up with Rajkummar Rao and Arvindr Khaira who directed the video, I knew it was going to be a really nice experience. Tapping into the acting zone of things, and going into portraying a story within three minutes, I enjoy doing that a lot. I think it's difficult, but once it's done properly and packaged well - it can come out really well. I have done that before with ‘Chhor Denge’ and ‘Pachtaoge’ with Vicky (Kaushal). So I have had that experience before. I have worked with Rajkummar Rao on ‘Kamariya’. We had an amazing experience. It was very fun. So I knew this one would also be a good one,” shared Nora.
What kind of music have they both grown up on? “Mostly Hindi film songs. Very rarely I would listen to some western songs. But yes, all Bollywood songs of the 90s. Mostly Shah Rukh (Khan) sir songs, because I have always been a huge fan. So his album, anyday it would come out, I would listen to that on loop. Also, when (AR) Rahman sir’s music started coming in, I was zapped. (I was like) what is this new kind of music which has come in? I would really trip on Bombay, Roja, Rangeela and Dil Se…,” says Rajkummar Rao.
Nora adds, “Mine is very diverse. Between listening to a lot of hip-hop and urban music, to Arabic music, North African music, and a lot of Hindi songs. So very diverse. Sometimes Nigerian music, Somalian music. I have a very diverse music taste.”
