Warina has featured in a few commercials before she caught the attention of the superstar Salman Khan. She is the daughter of an Iraqi father and an Afghani mother and has acquired her education at The New York Film Academy.

Loveyatri was originally titled Loveratri but was renamed in order to not hurt the Hindu sentiments. A few pressure groups had objected to the original title. In a turn of events, Bihar’s Muzaffarpur Court had ordered to file an FIR against Salman Khan who later changed the film name to Loveyatri.

Loveyatri also marks the directorial debut of Abhiraj Minawala, who has assisted filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar for Tiger Zinda Hai and Sultan.
