Production
The film was mostly written in English language for the "educated audience," while Urdu had also been used at some parts.
British director Michael Hudson developed the script based on the real-life events of actor Kamran Faiq, who would also appear and produce the film.
The script was very difficult to write because Hudson had never been to Pakistan before, so he got Faiq's help in writing the script.
