Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

The film was mostly written in English language for the "educated audience", as quoted by the director while Urdu had also been used at some parts.[1] Michael developed the script based on the real-life events of actor Kamran Faiq, who would also appear and produce the film.[1] 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.[3] The other cast included Javed Sheikh, Amna Ilyas, Adnan Shah Tipu, Rehan Sheikh, and Omair Rana.[1] The film would be a co-production of Pakistan, Poland, UK and Russia.[4]

Filming[edit]

Principal photography on the film was done in Lahore, Pakistan, the location was chosen by the director who thought the script was a perfect fit in the country.[1] In May 2015, filming was underway.[5]
