"The idea came from all of us, and we worked on developing it together until it reached its final form. The film's name came naturally once we settled on the basic idea," he noted. The director noted that the most difficult part of the project was making a solid and well-crafted script, as it took time to fine-tune the script. El Mohandes added: "Shooting also faced significant challenges, especially with the stunt and action scenes, but we overcame these difficulties with the support of the team and their love for the project,". He also spoke about the filming process, saying, "The atmosphere was enjoyable but stressful, especially since we shot in difficult locations during the summer. But the enthusiasm and belief in the project made it easier for all of us,".
