The film is directed by Aarti S. Bagdi, known for Chalti Rahe Zindagi. It is produced by Indian Stories and A Richer Lens, in collaboration with Aarjay Pictures. Some big names behind the project include Vivek B. Agrawal (known for Queen, Udta Punjab, Sacred Games), Avantika Hari, and Rakesh Sippy.

Since 2016, there has been an unofficial ban on Pakistani artists working in Indian films because of political issues. But in 2023, the Bombay High Court rejected a petition to make this ban official. The court said that art and culture should bring peace and unity, not division.

Fawad Khan is well-loved in India for his roles in Khoobsurat (2014) and Kapoor & Sons (2016). He also appeared in the Marvel series Ms. Marvel and the Pakistani hit The Legend of Maula Jatt. His recent show Barzakh premiered at Series Mania in 2023.

Abir Gulaal brings together two talented actors in a sweet, emotional story that crosses borders. With a fresh story and strong cast, the film is expected to be a heartwarming watch for audiences around the world.
