Production

Deemak was announced in November 2023, with author Ayesha Muzaffar and director Rafay Rashdi, along with the starring actor names. Muzaffar told The Express Tribune that this film would mark her venture into horror screenplay as well, having the "story of a thousand Pakistani houses with a supernatural element to it".

Rashdi told BBC Urdu that when the script was ready after his discussions with Muzaffar for past few years, Samina Peerzada was the first to join in. Then Faysal Quraishi was cast, who would be returning to mainstream cinema after more than 25 years. Then came Sonya Hussyn, and then further cast members. Independent Urdu reported that the film depicts COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan and has no songs in it.

With a limited budget, they hired Julia Millais of Imagine Magic FX, a Canadian VFX producer, and tried making horror look real instead of just jump scares. Syed Murad Ali served as the executive producer under Wah Wah Productions, Rana Kamran as cinematographer, Sohaib Rashdi as the film score composer, Mehboob Shah as stunt coordinator, and Rizwan AQ as the film editor.
