Premise
Being an only child to her father, Zubeda was raised more like a son to be an empowered woman. She wants justice for her father, and seeks help from officer Sikandar. However, she gets trapped in a love triangle with him and her cousin.
Additionally, YouTuber Junaid Akram and news reporter Amin Hafeez also appear in the film.[3]
Production
In September 2019, it was announced that Mohsin Khan and Saqib Khan would be making a film. Soon, Jamil Baig and Hassan Zia signed in as producers. The film was announced in January 2020 under the title Zubeda Mard Ban; however it was changed to Ghabrana Nahi Hai in February. As the cast was finalized, the filming was set to begin in March 2020; however, after only two days, it was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan.[4][5][6][7]
Arshad Khan served as cinematographer, and Hunain Shamim as editor; the cast and crew included 17 debutants, as the producers wanted to put forward fresh talent. The film's title is derived from the famous dialogue of Imran Khan, 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan, though not in a sarcastic way but for a positive message.[10][11][12][13]
The initial intention of the filmmakers was to release the film on Eid al-Adha in August 2020, however, it couldn't happen. The film teaser was released on 17 December 2021, and the film trailer on 12 March 2022. The film was released on Eid al-Fitr, 3 May 2022.[14][15]
