The director recently produced the song, "Party Nonstop", with EMI Records, which has been composed by British-Indian musician Dr Zeus.

"The EMI records sent this song to me, but I did not know who sang it but knew we had to back this one. And when I gotto know it was Dr Zeus' brain child, I was transported back tomy college days dancing to 'Kangna'.
