Filming & casting
In May 2015, it was announced that film named Janaan is in pre-production phase.[4] In August, film's cast and crew was revealed on Twitter by the producer. Film Siyaah's team reunited in this film, with Imran Kazmi returning as producer, Azfar Jafri as director and Osman Khalid Butt as writer.[5] An agreement was also signed between the film production team and ARY Films to distribute the film.[6][7] First spell of shooting began from August 21 in Islamabad[8] and lasted till September 5.[9] Second spell of film started in Swat valley. The same month Usman Mukhtar and Hania Aamir were cast in film. Janaan entered the final phase of its production in mid October after shooting in Islamabad and Swat.[10] Reham Khan's departure from Pakistan after her divorce with Imran Khan questioned the production status of film but her co-producer Imran Kazmi stated "As the popular phrase goes: 'the show must go on' and putting all and any speculation to rest, I would like to say that this news will not affect the film in any manner whatsoever."[11] Ajab Gul, Jalal Khan and Mishi Khan were revealed as cast with their character names on November 7.
