This song was added to the film on the suggestion of Yash Chopra the patriarch of the Yash Raj Films banner. Music directors Salim - Sulaiman were given the requirement for this song just two weeks before the film's release. The composers were frantic as they knew that there was no way they could come up with a new tune in such a short period. The duo then remembered a tune they had initially composed for the song "Yeh Hausla" ("Dor", 2006) but which filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor had rejected. It was this rejected tune that went on to be used for this song.[1][2]
