Nikkhil Advani producer of Lucknow central shared, “We wanted an anthem song for the film. Farhan, Ajit Andhare [COO, Viacom 18] and I were debating whether we should go with an original number or pick up an existing chartbuster. We zeroed in on Kawa Kawa as it is popular even today. It is played at all Sangeet and dance parties.” He further shares, “Farhan was against the idea. He didn’t want it as Divya has sung another song in the film and we wanted to maintain uniformity with regard to the voice.”
