Production

Development

In 2014, Ali Zafar revealed to DAWN that his first Pakistani film production is "going to be directed by Ahsan Rahim".[7][8] In September 2015, Zafar established a studio in his new house, and named it Lightingale Studios.[9] The film was announced on 18 October 2016 by Zafar and Rahim, reported The Express Tribune.[10] This is Zafar's first Pakistani film as a lead after working in several Indian films and a small role in Lahore Se Aagey.[11][12] Rahim also had directed Zafar's some music videos previously.[13][14]

Zafar revealed the film title on 20 January,[15] with the name of Maya Ali as lead actress on 27 January 2017.[16][17][18] She is known for her acting in many Pakistani dramas, and has also gained popularity in Indian television when her starring drama Aunn Zara aired there.[19][20][21] On finalizing her debut film, she told The News that "it took me a while" because "I don't want people to relate it to any of my previous work(s)". Zafar commented that this film will show "what all she is capable of."[22][23]

Casting and filming

Filming began on 18 February. First spell took place in Lahore, Pakistan,[24] and completed on 10 May after about 42 days.[25] In April, Asma Abbas revealed her role in an interview with The Nation.[26] Nayyar Ejaz, Simi Raheal, Mehmood Aslam and British actor Tom Coulston were also cast, along with Marhoom Ahmad Bilal who also made his film debut.[27] Second spell then continued from 20 June in Warsaw, Poland.[28] Javed Sheikh and Mah-e-Nur Haider and Faisal Qureshi were cast, along with Fia Khan who also made her film debut.[29] Filming wrapped up on 26 July, after 30 days' spell in Warsaw.[30] Zain Haleem has served as the cinematographer.[27]

Sheikh revealed his role to The News;[31] he further said, "I absolutely love traveling", as he had to work in many films that required travelling including this.[32] The film marked the return of Aslam to the industry after 28 years; he said, "I finally got the role which I always wanted to play."[33] Zafar commented to Khaleej Times, "what interested me the most was developing characters and then seeing those characters come to life and how each actor would bring their own ideas or concepts to this character."[34]

Promotion

Zafar said in interview with Newsline, "I wrote the story along with the director."[35] "We started off with an idea to make an action comedy, then romance came into play and then the songs…", he said to DAWN.[36] He further told The News that he had "studied books on screenplays to learn how it's done."[37] He further said that the architectural shots[36] as well as action sequences[38] in this film would be something like never have been seen before, for which he prepared himself physically and disallowed his stunt double.[39] He told The Express Tribune that it has been designed to "provide a cinematic experience that hasn't been done here yet",[38] and added to DAWN that this may be "the most expensive Pakistani production",[40] further said to The News, "We need to think out of the box and see how international cinema works".[37] He told IANS that film has a message "about the journey more than the destination".[41]

He revealed the film logo in the opening ceremony of 2017 Pakistan Super League on 9 February, followed by his "Ab Khel Jamay Ga" performance.[42] On 20 April, he performed on his original song "Ishq" with Maya Ali in 16th Lux Style Awards.[43][44][45] Film teaser was released during the opening ceremony of 2018 Pakistan Super League on 22 February;[46] where Zafar flied around the stadium on hoverboard while performing on his rendition of "Teefa", followed by his "Dil Se Jaan Laga De" performance.[1][47]

Rahim told The News that after more than six months in pre-production, they started shooting "on the 10th or 12th draft." He said that a film should not look like "a TV serial, it should be larger than life and the story should be engaging".[48] He said to Pakistan Today, "If a director cannot tell a story effectively, he cannot make a good film."[49] He commented that it is "difficult to be fully satisfied with one's own work", but he gave his best to the film so after him, it "belongs to the public".[48][49] Zafar's wife Ayesha Fazli has served as the co-producer, while his brother Danyal Zafar has also served as a co-writer.[41]

Release

The trailer was released on 14 June 2018 accross 1200 screens worldwide.[50][51] The film released accross 24 countries on 20 July, including some countries where this is the first Pakistani film,[52] while in UAE on 19 July.[53]

Box office

Teefa in Trouble became the fifth film as non-holiday opener with collecting approx. Rs. 2.31 crore on first day at Pakistani box office,[54] and became the first Pakistani film to do so.[3]

Critical response

The film premiered on 19 July at Nueplex Cinemas, Defence Housing Authority, Karachi, and on 20 July at CineStar IMAX Lahore;[55] to mostly positive reviews;[56] despite being the protests against it.[57][58]
