While, Malaika Arora added, "Aap Jaisa Koi has a very groovy vibe. Not once did we feel like we were shooting or rehearsing for the song, but we were just enjoying our time with it. Ayushmann and I enjoyed it to the core. He has got some great moves. I am excited to see how fans will react to the song"
