Production
Director Habib Shahzad developed the project independently without major studio backing. The film was self-financed, drawing inspiration from a local criminal incident, and was completed in 2023 although it initially struggled to secure theatrical distribution in Pakistan due to the absence of major stars.[3]
After screenings at local festivals, the film was acquired by United States-based distributor Buffalo 8.[5]
Filming took place entirely on location in Rawalpindi using real alleys, neighbourhoods and police stations, with minimal artificial lighting to emphasise a grounded visual style.[6]
