The soundtrack is set to feature Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, who has recorded two songs for the film and will also make an appearance in it. Earlier this year, Aly and Goldsmith took to social media and shared glimpses from their upcoming project. Alongside the Yakeen Ka Safar actor, the former wife of PM Imran Khan can be seen with the veteran Indian actor as well as she posts the story with the latter on her Instagram.

Last year, it was announced that the journalist would be writing and producing her first film - a romantic-comedy - What's Love Got To Do With It? under the banner of her company Instinct Production. The film is set in London and Lahore. According to the Daily Mail, Goldsmith was inspired by her marriage to the premier and the film seems to be her take on it.
