The play has been shot on original locations in Sargodha.
While talking to this scribe Saleem said 'It was a four day shooting spell. We enjoyed working in the play because it has been shot on original locations. The play is a love triangle and has a lot of new elements in it'.Saleem said that he has become very selective now about working in plays. 'I am now looking for challenging work now. It has been many years since I started working on television. I do not want to play stereo-type roles.
