Sooraj was quoted as saying that the shooting of Didi Tera Devar Deewana was completed in 16 days because the song was quite long. "We wanted to end it on a high note and add some fun at the last. Then I told my father that I wanted to make Salman Khan wear a nighty in a scene. Hearing this, Salman Khan agreed, but my father immediately refused the idea. Then, filled with frustration, I went to the cast and crew of the film with my idea. When I shared it with others, they all found it very funny and liked it too," he added.

Divulging further details, Sooraj added that Madhuri liked this idea very much and supported it. "After this, I took a vote of all the female dancers and women present on the set. All the dancers and Madhuri agreed to this fun idea. And later, Madhuri herself insisted that Salman wear a nightie," he said.
