The video has been directed by Ali Sattar and takes the audience into a journey tracking down the daughter of the protagonist after the young girl runs away from her home after witnessing her father argue with her mother. Music video is produced by 33 productions; Ali Sattar has also written the story and is the colorist. Aamir Mughal is the cinematographer while Sultan Laskir is the assistant director.

The music video stars Waqas Shahzad, Jawad Rana, Daheem Qaiser and Ember Khan Baloch. Rizwan-ul-Haq says: “As a society the least we could do is to treat each other with politeness; kindness is infectious, I want to see a tolerant society I leave behind for my future generations; I hope Ghussay Vich will play its part”

Bilal Ashraf says: “Men have built far too many walls and not many bridges, I sincerely hope after watching our music video of Ghussay Vich; the audience will think twice before picking up arguments with their fellow human beings over petty things.
