The film, to be helmed by debut director Rajesh Sethi, will eventually be made into a franchise. Reshammiya has collaborated with Javed Akhtar for the film’s album, which will include as many as seven songs. Sethi told Mumbai Mirror that the search for the female lead and other cast members is underway, and the team will start shooting on 27 September, to mark Yash Chopra birth anniversary. Main Jahan Rahoon, Himesh admits, will belong to the Yash Chopra’s school of romance. “I can promise you that in terms of visuals and writing, it will be in the zone of a Yash Chopra film. Rajesh ji has developed a sensitive story based on real incidents”, Himesh told the daily, adding that the film will primarily be canned in UK and Delhi. The singer-composer-actor has also bought the rights to make a biopic on Bishnu Shreshtha, a soldier in the Indian Army who fought 40 armed robbers in a running train (Maurya Express) on 2 September, 2010. He was awarded the Sena Medal for bravery and Uttam Jeevan Raksha Padak medal for his gallantry during the event. According to a Bollywood Hungama  report, journalist Praful Shah will be penning the screenplay.
