Controversies

Shahid Rafique, a businessman claimed that he has also got a share in the film as Reema, the film's director borrowed Rs. 17.5 Million from him and promised to return the money with the it's release which was denied by Reema. Representatives of Reema, however claim that there is no such thing and Reema had no contract with Shahid Rafique, also the Film Distributer's Association of Pakistan, after listening to both the parties gave the decision in favor of Reema and said "Rafiq didn’t show enough evidence to prove his claim of sharing investment in Reema’s next directorial project. We decided to merit in favour of Reema". As the Film Distributor's Association is on the side of Reema, Rafique is planning to file a civil/criminal case against the director in court.
