Talking about the film producer Imran said "We don't how the critics or masses will take the film, but the way we have treated the film should make it as different as possible. Our goal was to create something different to show another side to Pakistani film-making, it is different from Zibahkhana and horror films from the '60s and '70s. It has suspense and drama — we have tried to create a balance of all the perfect ingredients."
