"The song is a very important factor in the film and I felt that it would be good move to have a star like Tamannaah Bhatia. The song comes when the hero and his friends are having a bachelor party right after his marriage is fixed. It would be weird if a guy dances with another girl, soon after his marriage is fixed. But here, she is telling him how he needs to be after marriage and so, we felt the concept is totally legit."
