Ayaz Khan, last seen in Parichay-Nayee Zindagi Kay Sapno Ka, will play the parallel male lead. Confirms producer Sumeet Mittal, "Yes, Aamna was one of the strongest contenders for the role, but Rubina has bagged the role finally. We were anxious and cautious about selecting the artists who could be later known as the characters. So, after series of mock shoots and look tests, we have selected them."
