For their recreation, the duo chose the Dabangg track since they could relate to its "tempo and romanticism". "We used the tabla and dholak, and many acoustic instruments, and also got the students of our music school to sing the chorus."
As a duo that has enjoyed a long run in Bollywood, Anand-Milind lament the lack of opportunities given to young talent today, making their stance on the ongoing debate on monopoly in the industry, evident.
"When we gave our first hit in '87 with QSQT [Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak], I remember Anand Bakshi ji saying that in this industry [one will be successful] if the film, and its music is a hit, and that is all that matters. But the kind of [camps] we see now make things worse than they were when we started. A few people decide if a singer will [or won't] sing. [It is owing to this culture that] we are on the back-foot. It's tough for singers, writers, and composers to [become successful]. Anand would say one can't tell a cameraman which lens to use. So how can these guys [label owners], who don't understand sur and taal, call the shots? [They should] take care of the marketing aspect and stay away from the creative process."
