From the very beginning Amitabh was very skeptical about the “Kajre Re” song. When he heard it, he straightaway told it will not work and suggested not to shoot it. Director Shaad Ali requested him to give it a proper listening.
He even refused to dub his portions in the song and insisted Shankar Mahadevan to do it. Also he was reluctant to share the screen with both, his son and his future daughter-in-law Aishwarya Bachchan in a glamourous, commercial dance number. However, he was convinced by Abhishek Bachchan.
Further, Abhishek fostered a comfortable and enthusiastic atmosphere on set, despite Amitabh's initial reluctance to dance with him and Aishwarya. The light heartedness on the set, the discussions and the laughter did the rest. While shooting it, Amitabh commented that the song will be a “national rage”.
The song is choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant and was indeed a massive hit.
