Ed Sheeran’s rap, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s chemistry, or Sachin-Jigar’s foot-tapping music — everyone has their own reason why they can’t get enough of Tu Mil Jaaye from King. For choreographer duo Shazia-Piyush, the reason is simple: King Khan. Talking to mid-day, the duo revealed that they requested filmmaker Siddharth Anand to give them the chance to choreograph a number in the December 24 release.

Shazia recalled, “Siddharth sir made us hear Tu Mil Jaaye. He told us that it’s not a typical love song and we have to [incorporate] storytelling, romance, and action. Then he asked us to pitch how we’d visualise this song.” For the choreographers, there was added pressure as it was Khan’s favourite song in King. Piyush added, “Siddharth sir said, ‘You have to earn this song’.”
