Speaking exclusively to us, Naveen revealed the shoot of
FA9LA featuring Akshaye was surreal. "The location was 2 hours away from the main Ladakh city. Now it's no news that the song is sensational. It's a whole new sound for our modern audiences. Plus Vijay Ganguly sir's choreography was stellar. And then the pièce-de-résistance was Akshaye sir grooving to it, which no one prepared for."The actor further revealed, "He made up his mind to do it, and Aditya (Dhar) sir went with it, and the rest is history. I’m sure Akshaye sir is aware that he has set the internet on fire, and if he isn’t, then I want to use this interview to tell him, 'Rehman bhai, aag laga di'."

On working with Akshaye Khanna
Continuing the chat, Naveen stated that working with Akshaye was humbling, awe-inspiring and brilliant experience. He admitted to learning a lot from Akshaye about acting. "The way he changed the mood, the rhythm, and the feel of scenes. He would always have a surprising moment up his sleeve, which he would pull out and catch us all off guard, which is amazing for any actor to pull off."
