Production

Following Sadat's previous film, Wolf and Sheep, the director reused the main actors, Qodrat and Sediqa, in The Orphanage. The rest of the actors were cast from a pool of 20,000 highschool students around the Kabul area. After some convincing, Sadat cast Anwar Hashmi as the orphanage supervisor.

All of the speaking cast in "The Orphanage" came from Afghanistan, while other actors in non-speaking roles came from either Tajikistan, Denmark, or Germany. Much of the movie was shot in Tajikistan, with some other scenes, like the more stylized Bollywood dream sequences, shot in Denmark. The scenes where the young boys go to a Soviet summer camp were shot in Germany.

Anwar Hashmi's 800 page unpublished autobiographical text heavily inspired both Wolf and Sheep and The Orphanage. Shahrbanoo Sadat and Anwar Hashmi met in 2009 while shooting at a TV station in Kabul. From then on, she has been collecting pages from Hashmi's diary and transforming some of their events into film.
