An article in Mid-Day on April 17 mentioned that the period drama has been tentatively titled as Batwara 1947. A source told Bollywood Hungama, "The makers prefer the title Batwara 1947. In all probability, this would be the title of the film once all the stakeholders agree to it. A clearer picture will emerge in a few weeks on this front." In February 2026, Bollywood Hungama carried a quote from a source that stated, "Lahore 1947 is based on the famous play ‘Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya’. Since the film is set in the Pakistani city and during the Independence period, the title Lahore 1947 was initially deemed suitable.

Hicks toured the world singing for organizations like the Ronald McDonald House and shared the stage with artists like Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. In addition to Mad About You, Hicks has been on other TV shows such as Madam Secretary, One Life to Live, Star Trek: Voyager, and L.A. Law (where she portrayed Remy).
