Now news out is that , it will be a jazz number set in the swinging ’60s. Interestingly, the song will not be directed by Anurag Kashyap but his close associate and the director of ‘Udaan‘ and ‘Lootera‘ – Vikramaditya Motwane. Revealed a source close to the film’s unit, “It will feature not only Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma but also Karan Johar, who plays a media mogul in the film.
The makers are currently conceptualizing the song. It will be shot on a sweeping scale and will convey the general idea of the film. But it won’t be a part of the film’s narrative. It’s a music video which will be used for promotions. The source added that Motwane will direct it because he is great with music videos which seamlessly sync with the film’s theme.”In Katiyabaaz, an earlier collaboration, Motwane was brought in to direct just the music video and he did a great job,” said the source.
