After 3 years of pre-production, on 24 September 2018, it was announced that a movie will be made about the life story of Rumi and Shams Tabrizi, directed by Hassan Fathi and produced by Mehran Broumand.

Fathi started shooting “Intoxicated by Love” in Konya in October of 2019. 2 days before the beginning of 2020, the first teaser of the film was released. With the arrival of COVID-19, the news cycle around the film went silent. About 6 months later, the crew announced that only a few sequences of the film were left and they were waiting for the reopening of the borders to continue filming (due to COVID).

In May 2021, a Persian-language satellite channel announced the broadcast of a Intoxicated by Love TV series in Turkey, which caused a temporary halt in the production of the film. The Turkish investor said that the editing and technical stages of the film had been completed and the contract for the broadcast of a series of the film was closed with this network, while the production of the film had not been completed yet.

Finally, with the legal follow-up carried out by the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the 100% ownership of the film was given to the Iranian side and the film entered into its final phase of production.

Almost all of the filming was done in Konya, Turkey.
