“It is a fun song and we have used lots of gully cricket terms in it,” says singer Shankar Mahadevan, of the song’s composer trio, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The lyricist, Manoj Yadav, adds, “We wanted to give fans something they could relate to. We thought of an aggressive punchline, and came up with De Ghumake.”

The song has been recorded in three languages — Hindi, Bengali and Sinhalese — keeping in mind the host countries. The video, featuring cricketers, will be shot next week.
