Post her performance, Terence told Swetha how she reminded him of Deepika Padukone. After watching her perform, Terence got nostalgic about the time when he choreographed Deepika Padukone in the song Ang Laga De.

Walking down memory lane, Terence said, “ While we were shooting for the song, I remember seeing Deepika on the sets with absolutely no makeup as the director had suggested her not to wear makeup. I was stunned looking at her, she looked nothing less than beautiful. She had only put some kajal in her eyes and yet looked stunning in the attire. At the same time, Ranveer Singh was ready with oil applied on his body for the sequence. The chemistry that Deepika and Ranveer created for the song was sensual, and the same sort of vibe was created by Swetha today”. Terence also thanked Swetha for transporting that vibe in her performance.
