Pakhi exudes infectious enthusiasm. However, once she starts talking, she reveals her pre-release jitters. "As soon as the movies promos went on air, I disconnected myself from all social networking sites. I don't want to know about any reactions. I am very nervous," she states honestly.

Now, Tyrewala has recorded a 'dandiya' track with Rahman again just after the composer's return from the US tour. And keeping the festival in mind, the director has just wrapped up the movie's shoot with a pacy dandiya track.
