The film recently made the headlines for some unfortunate bit of legal trouble which is why the film is yet to be released. However, in an interview with The Express Tribune Ahad Raza Mir shared his experience shooting the entire film. When asked about the hard work and preparation that went into the film, he said, “Not going to lie…it has been excruciating! With a film this big, which has so many things going on – like the air force is involved; the expectations and the wait are all very high.”

“Obviously, it took longer than it was anticipated, which is okay. But you can see that the excitement is still there. I’ve seen bits of Parwaaz Hai Junoon and I’m quite excited. I hope that people enjoy it. All those who have waited for it, who are excited to see it now that some of the teaser trailers have been released – I hope they enjoy it. That’s my biggest hope. That they believe that all the wait was worth it.”
When further questioned about the harsh weather conditions, he revealed, Without revealing much, I’ll tell you that there was a ‘cold scene.’ The other guys and I – our feet were freezing. We decided to put some rocks into a fire that we had going on and let the stones get hot and then put them in our shoes. That’s how we’d dry our feet and keep them warm!”
He further revealed, “The toughest part of the shoot was definitely how we shot in some very extreme temperatures and situations. And we had to deal with it. We were in Altar and it was -25 but we were still shooting. And the tough part or the struggle didn’t stop when the scenes stopped: it was still there. What I hope now is that the entire struggle shows onscreen.”
