In a typical celebration scene, Akshay can be seen busting out into bhangra as the song proceeds. Previously, a behind-the-scenes picture from the film's sets showed Akshay and Parineeti evidently having a gala time as they shot for the song. 

Mission Raniganj title changed

Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue is the Akshay Kumar-starrer's new title. The film was initially titled The Great Indian Rescue. However, in tandem with the recent chatter around the Republic of India being potentially renamed Bharat, the makers chose to replace the term 'Indian' with 'Bharat'. Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue is slated to release in theatres on October 6.
