Speaking to Filmygyan, Vijay said that he had suggested Tamannaah’s name, \"Aditya was very clear that he did not want what people call an item song, something that went out of the story. If it were just about one girl, it would have taken attention away from the story. That's why there are two girls, not one. He didn't want the attention to be about this one person. If it was Tamannaah, it would've been about her and not the story.\"

\n \n\n

Furthermore, Vijay stated, \"Jo ho raha tha film mein, there was a lot going on, and if you go away from the story, then the song is just a cut-to song.\"

\n\n

In Shararat, the scene depicts Ranveer Singh's character, Hamza, marrying Sara Arjun's character, Yalina Jamali. The song plays during the wedding celebrations, adding to the festive atmosphere.
