After completion many offers were made by Indian music producers to use the song in their upcoming films, but Farhan first decided to release the song in Pakistan. Farhan also serves as a producer to songs' music video. He approaches singer-composer and director Yasir Muhammad Jaswal to direct the music video of song and Sabeeka for the role, talking in an interview Farhan said, "I started looking for a good director who could do justice to its video and the only one I could think of was Yasir (Jaswal) as he heard the song and was in love with it; I had full faith in him. Sabeeka (Imam) was the female model who has been doing great in the fashion industry and was perfect for the role."[1]
