According to reports, Dhoop ki Deewar is written in the context of the Pulwama and Kashmir attacks and it walks us through the reality of war and the trauma people have to go through, especially the families of martyred soldiers on both sides of the conflict. When the conflict first began, people became warmongers overnight, and that’s something that Ahad Raza Mir feel has been tackled in the series. He talked about how people often tend to overlook the consequences of war which is problematic and how shooting the war time plot was enough to take a toll on him.
