“It was just one big happy party. We enjoyed it so much. I still remember we were filming, and it was my birthday, and they celebrated. Basically, Shaad just put on the song, and for about four hours, we had a dance party. He actually shot a lot of that and inserted those shots of us having fun and letting loose on set into the song,” Bachchan said.
