Apart from Mohsin and Nousheen the movie will feature debutant Mahrukh Mirza as the second lead, and reknowned names like Marhoom Ahmed Bilal, Saleem Mairaj, Hina Dilpazeer, Ali Rizvi and Yasir Taj in supporting roles.
The film is all set to go on floors on 16th February and will be wrapped on 14th March in a single spell, with two songs to be shot later in April. The makers seem like having it all planned as according to Aleeha ”We are having an editor onboard who will be editing the film simultaneously so when the movie is wrapped, we will have the first edit ready in one week”
The script of the movie is penned by the talented Ali Moeen whose recent dramas like ”Bhool” and ”Jhooti” are generating great buzz. The cinematography will be done by Asad Mumtaz who served as DOP for Hamza Ali Abbasi starrer serial “Alif” which is currently airing on Geo Entertainment.
