It's going to be intense and something different."[6] The film will be produced by Sheikh's company JK Productions and line production in Turkey will be carried out by Azat Films Türkiye.[7] In November 2015, IMGC Global Entertainment came on board as a distributor.[8]

Casting

In July 2016, Saeeda Imtiaz and Danish Taimoor were cast in a leading roles. The character of Saeeda is "of a young Pakistani girl who is very outspoken, independent and doesn't rely on anybody to fulfill her dreams," and further revealed "for now, I have just signed the film with the initial details; I will get to know more about the team and the script once I'm in Pakistan."[9] While Taimoor said, "The script is brilliant and its music also promises to be so; this is the main reason why I signed the film. And also the fact that Javed Sheikh Sahab is making his directional comeback with it. How could I have said no?"[10] In May 2016, Frieha Altaf was cast in a unannounced role.[11][12]
