Aditya Dhar’s revelation about the song Shararat is one of the most interesting parts of the post. Currently, it has become the soul of every party throughout the world. But it almost did not make the final cut.   

Dhar himself accepted that he was hesitant to add a lip-sync dance number in an action-heavy spy thriller. He reportedly felt that such a song might interrupt the story’s flow or feel out of place in the serious tone of the film. 

Then, Vijay Ganguly convinces Aditya Dhar to take the risk. He reportedly told him to go ahead with the song, as it would be fun.  

That simple phrase changed the whole scenario. Dhar acknowledged that the encouragement given to him and composer Shashwat Sachdev gave them the confidence they needed to move forward. After that, the team became committed and delivered one of the biggest highlights of the film. 

It is proof that a few successful moments come from doubts in the cinema world.
