Production
The development of the film began in 1981, directed by Iqbal Yousuf and starring Waheed Murad, playing double role in the film. It was the seventh and final film appearance of Murad in a double role. Murad took a risk by changing his iconic look for the film, sporting a moustache in the opening scenes and altering his hairstyle. However, Murad's sudden death in 1983 halted the production. The film was later completed using a stand-in and body double for the remaining scenes. Salahuddin Tunio was approached to complete the remaining scenes, but he declined, citing personal reasons and a payment dispute, after which Kaukab Mehdi eventually took on the role, however the details of his involvement are not well-documented, as reported by Dawn. The film was released posthumously in January 1985, with Salma Murad, Murad's widow, and Yousuf working to complete it. == Music ==
