What did Pooja Hegde say about shooting for Monica?

Pooja said it was one of her toughest songs she shot, because of the weather conditions and the steps were heavy. "One has to look that you are not sweating even a little bit but the port was humid. But when I heard the rough scratch, I loved the song. Originally, this girl in the song was supposed to wear something like a lehenga and wine plum colour. But I got it changed to red dress. It was physically exhausting and I tanned a lot,” the actor said about shooting the song for five days.
