"I have always been a fan of symphonic orchestra such as London Philharmonic, so finding the right person, given the limited budget, has been a difficult task," states Faisal Aman Khan, while heaping praise on Farhan Zameer, who composed and directed the film’s music. "We were initially hoping to get Kaavish and Ali Azmat on board for the direction and composition of the film’s music, but it was becoming too expensive. However, when I first heard Zameer sing I was stunned at the amount of talent he possessed." Lyrics for songs are being written by Sidra Khalid.
