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.{{Cite news|url=https://dailytimes.com.pk/667693|title=A film on PM Imran Khan's famous dialogue "Ghabrana Nahi Hai" to be release|date=17 September 2020|work=Daily Times|access-date=25 March 2022}}{{cite news|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1594307|title=Spotlight: a comedy of cons|author=Mohammad Kamran Jawaid|date=6 December 2020|accessdate=23 March 2022|work=Dawn}}
