Talking about the same, Warner revealed, “To be honest, what is it? Bollywood, Kollywood, Tollywood you name it.. There is a lot of things out there. We sort of putting something out there to the fans and ask ‘what is there that we could sort of replicate and try and dance to?’. We got a lot of requests. The first song was ‘Butta Bomma’. We got tipped off to do one of those and we were able to do that. And from there, it just went bananas. And everyone put requests in and we tried to do as many as we can and it’s fun. We really enjoy it,”

I am glad I am a cricket player because those moves are incredibly fast and difficult and time-consuming. They are amazing at what they do,”
