Mehreen Jabbar spoke with The Express Tribune about her come back to the films, she said:

“At that time [2008], there were not many cinemas in the country and most of the releases happening were mainly independent, such as Ramchand and Khuda Ke Liye.”

As per Mehreen, her eight years long break may have helped mend her own sense and receptivity as a filmmaker. She added:

“Even though I have been directing since 2004, I hope that my latest cinematic outing is an improvement upon my previous film. But everything aside, I feel that, at this stage of my career, I have become more experimental.”

44 years old filmmaker says that she has learnt from the tepid reception of Ramchand Pakistanit and she has ensured added commercial appeal in her upcoming love story. The strategy is ostensible in its cast, encompassing Adeel Hussain, Sanam Saeed and Hareem Farooq.
