Production

The film was shot in Islamabad over a period of three weeks in April 2009. Locations included various popular spots around the city, including F-10 Markaz, F-8 Markaz, Daman-e-Koh, Gol Market F-7/3, and some local parks.

The cast was a relatively unknown one, consisting of local theatre actors in their 20s who essentially play themselves. Shahbaz Shigri used his own car for the shooting, while Aisha Linnea Akhtar allowed her own room to be used for some scenes. Houses were borrowed from friends of the cast and crew to keep the costs as low as possible.
