It's going to be intense and something different."[4] The film will be produced by Sheikh's company JK Productions.[5] In November 2015, IMGC Global Entertainment came on board as a distributor.[6]
Casting
In July 2016, Kubra Khan and Danish Taimoor were cast in a leading roles, describing their characters Khan said, "My character in Wujood is somewhat similar to what I had portrayed in Na Maloom Afraad. It's of a young Pakistani girl who is very outspoken, independent and doesn't rely on anybody to fulfill her dreams," and further revealed "for now, I have just signed the film with the initial details; I will get to know more about the team and the script once I'm in Pakistan."[7] While Taimoor said, "The script is brilliant and its music also promises to be so; this is the main reason why I signed the film. And also the fact that Javed Sheikh Sahab is making his directional comeback with it. How could I have said no?"[8] In May 2016, Frieha Altaf was cast in a unannounced role.[9][10]
Filming
Principal photography is scheduled to commence in December 2016 in Turkey, South Africa and Thailand. Javed said, "Half of the film will be shot in Pakistan and half of it will be outside Pakistan."[4]

The music and soundtrack of the film is composed by Sahir Ali Bagga, while some of the track will have additional musicians, Sheikh said, "The majority of the soundtrack will be composed by [Sahir Ali] Bagga but it is likely that we may also have one or two more musicians contribute their tracks to the film as well."[11]
