In this film, Kiara Advani and Aditya Seal refurbish iconic retro looks to pay tribute to Bollywood with the song Dil Tera.
Describing how the song, Dil Tera, was conceptualized, the director says, “As a filmmaker, I am passionate about the many classics that have shaped the Hindi film industry. While writing the song sequence, I wanted to pay homage to the iconic looks and sequences from the ’60s to the ’90s.”
