Bhansali`s meticulous attention to detail that went into crafting the song is a testament to how dedicated yet effortless he is as a filmmaker.
Recalling filming the moment that has gone viral, Adiit Rao Hydari said, “I am thanking everybody. That walk—just that little tukda from Thumri—is all over the internet. I really didn’t expect that, and Sanjay sir did say, ‘Ye chaal bahut important hai (This walk is very important).’ He has so much knowledge, so he was very much involved in the making of the song.”
She also mentioned how Sanjay Leela Bhansali was intricately and actively a part of every little movement, including the movement of the dupatta, which should match the rhythm of her steps.

“Kruti Mahesh was there choreographing, but he was completely involved in every detail of the choreography, and he was very particular about this walk and how it should happen: how will the dupatta fall, how will the waist move, exactly when will the ‘chan’ sound be heard... It was quite incredible,” the actress added.
The actress, who plays the role of Bibbijaan, eloquently danced to the tunes of `Saiyaan Hatto Jao.` In the same way, she took a moment and performed the infamous Gaja Gamini walk, which is now popularly called the`swan walk.`
