Ranbir, who claims to be a hard core fan of Madhuri, said his dream to work with her was finally fulfilled.

"It was my dream come true to work with Madhuri. I have been a huge admirer of her. My heart was also broken when she got married. She is very unassuming on the sets. She is sincere, dedicated, hard working," Ranbir was quoted saying by Press Trust of India (PTI).

"Ghagra" is an ethereal song sung by Rehka Bharadwaj and Vishal Dadlani. Amitabh Bhattacharya has penned down the lyrics, while the score is composed by Pritam.
