In a previous interview, Sajal revealed why she chose to work in her latest film. "I think the first reason I agreed to join this film was that it beautifully highlights Pakistani culture," she had said. "The country depicted in this project is quite colourful, bright and full of joy, which is a huge contrast from the norm in filmmaking which portrays Pakistanis as terrorists, so thank you Jemima for writing such a brilliant script."
