Shahveer, me, Khaqan, Zarrar, Mir, and a bunch of other boys, along with Kinza Hashmi. It is basically a story about cricket.”

Danyal revealed how it was working with Khan, he shared, “She was incredibly passionate about the project. Whenever we would speak about the character or the story, we would have great back and forth discussions and rather in-depth conversations about the whys and hows of the story. She would sit and work on the script till the very last moment, constantly trying to make it better.”
