Production

edit

In September 2019, it was announced that Mohsin Khan and Saqib Khan would be making a film. Soon, Jamil Baig and Hassan Zia signed in as producers. The film was announced in January 2020 under the title Zubeda Mard Ban; however it was changed to Ghabrana Nahi Hai in February. As the cast was finalized, the filming was set to begin in March 2020; however, after only two days, it was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan.[4][5][6][7]

After the lockdown restrictions lifted, 90% principal photography took place in Malir District, Karachi, from November 2020 onward. Then filming took place respectively in Lahore and Faisalabad in January 2021, before wrap-up in February 2021; followed by post-production.[8][9]

Arshad Khan served as cinematographer, and Hunain Shamim as editor; the cast and crew included 17 debutants, as the producers wanted to put forward fresh talent. The film's title is derived from the famous dialogue of Imran Khan, 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan, though not in a sarcastic way but for a positive message.[10][11][12][13]
