I've probably left nothing out from dance numbers to heartbreak songs. The title 'Paisa Paisa' sounded odd and the storyboard was equally entertaining to be a part of. I hope it makes its way into the clubs soon and gets everyone grooving.'

In addition to Starboy who appears in the video Nia stated 'It was a very different experience because this song is very unique.' We didn't plan on using Paisa Paisa as a hook line when we started but the beat was so good that it fits perfectly. 'G Skillz has done an excellent job. The hook line came first followed by the lyrics which were written in 15-20 minutes. We stuck to our naughtiness and added a few of the girls' names so that they could wait to hear them and make reels based on that. We're crossing our fingers.'Gaurav Mehra directed the video which was posted on YouTube.
