The lavish, carnival-style dance performance is scheduled to end principal photography for filmmaker David Dhawan's upcoming comedy, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, next week. The song, which features Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, and Mrunal Thakur, will be shot over the course of eight days and will play as the closing credits for the show.

Elaborate rehearsals and rigorous rehearsals

As per a report in Mid Day, a massive set has been constructed at Mehboob Studios in Bandra, Mumbai, for the sole purpose of this scene. Varun is presently undergoing rigorous rehearsals with choreographer Vijay Ganguly to prepare for the track.

An insider in the production said the lead performer needs to be technically proficient to pull off the dance. A reliable source revealed to the tabloid that Ganguly has mapped out long takes with rapid transitions. Varun will traverse various levels in the song, including a rotating platform, a bridge, and more. In one part, he'll even do a comic skit that pays tribute to Govinda's dancing skills. At Mehboob Studios, the actor has been honing his steps for a particularly challenging scene in which he dances in sync with 60 background dancers.
