Inspiration
In a newspaper interview, director Syed Noor said, ""When I read the verses of Baba Bulleh Shah I promised myself that I will make a film on the great Sufi poet's 'ishq' and I was looking for an opportunity to do that. So, I discussed the story with my wife (Rukhsana Noor) who is also a writer. She converted it into a full-fledged script and finally I created 'Majajan'... (Saima) didn't compromise on quality, and spent lavishly on making 'Majajan' a great film."[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0937409/synopsis "Majajan synopsis," IMDb] Retrieved 7 June 2022
