He said that Satranga was made in September last year for another project but couldn't be used there and then a few days later, he went to a Diwali celebration, and since Sandeep Reddy and Siddharth-Garima, the song's lyricist, were close friends, they were both there. We were just singing the song, and it suddenly caught Sandeep’s attention. It was only a week after I got a call from his office, and they told me that Sandeep wanted to use the song for his upcoming film. That was a happy moment for me!” he revealed.

Siddharth-Garima wrote the lyrics for Satranga, which features Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna in the video.
