It was earlier revealed that the Bollywood adaptation of Pakistani bestseller had made a last-minute change in script to base the movie in Mumbai instead of Karachi following a ban on Pakistan-based movie Happy Bhag Jayegi. Sonakshi was set to play the role of a journalist, Noor, based in Karachi.

The book is a bittersweet tale of a single young woman, Noor, who is attached to her profession as a journalist-writer. Directed by debutante Sunhil Sippy, the movie revolves around Noor’s misadventures and love life as she navigates her way through Mumbai.
