Initially, Mrinalini was not keen on doing the number, as she feared being typecast as an 'item girl'.

But, she did not want to lose the opportunity of working with Jha. Mrinalini has a bit role in the film. She plays a nightclub dancer who falls in love with Ajay Devgan.

The song is in three parts. It showcases how Devgan's character changes as the film progresses.

The song was first offered to model Cleo Isaac but she was busy getting married. That's when Mrinalini came into the picture.

Apaharan, also starring Bipasha Basu and Nana Patekar, releases on December 4.
