According to Kaushik, the shoot day quickly turned into an unexpected meet-and-greet. While recording the song, he wrote that “ladies who had come from Kashmir surrounded me,” adding that they wanted to click pictures with him without knowing who he was. What stayed with him, he said, was the sweetness of the request. He admitted he genuinely enjoyed the moment because of how politely and innocently they asked for a photo.

The actor also reflected on how unpredictable the internet can be. At the time, it felt like a small, happy interruption on a long day of filming. Only later did he realise the clip would take on a life of its own online. “Who knew that this song would become a spark and set the internet on fire,” Kaushik wrote, hinting at the traction Flipperachi has gathered since the visuals started circulating.

Kaushik’s post also explains what viewers hear in the background of the video. The laughter during the recording, he said, belongs to Siyahi, also known as @gazirouhallah. Kaushik wrote that Siyahi encouraged the women to take photos with him, turning the moment into something even more light-hearted. “He told them to click a photo with me,” Kaushik noted, before ending the anecdote with a playful line: “Okay, brother. Next time it’s your turn.”

Shot against Kashmir’s wide, rugged landscape, the video shows a small crowd gathering near the set as the crew works. It is the kind of unplanned on-location moment that rarely makes it into official promos, but often becomes the most memorable part of a shoot. His note adds to Dhurandhar buzz, as fans cheer the candid, local flavour.
