Actor-singer Ammy Virk who has just released his collaboration with Divine, 'Busy Getting Paid' got into a candid chat with mid-day.com. Speaking about the track and how the duo whose styles are very different decided to come together, Virk said, "Initially I was to do the song solo. There was a bit of hip-hop but my style which is folk was retained. Collaborations are in trend these days and we also wanted to make our song big. We shortlisted a lot of artistes from Punjab and outside, including international artistes. Finally we decided to start with India and spoke to Divine who agreed to the collaboration. The song got delayed a bit though it was ready since a year and half."
