When Rajiv Kapoor first announced the film in 1989, the cast was Anil Kapoor Rishi Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit. Rajiv then changed the script to a solo hero film a few years later.
Sanjay was to play the role of Soman but, because of his hassles with the FMC, didn't manage to give the required dates. When he finally did, Madhuri could not give matching dates. To avoid further delay of Rajiv Kapoor's project, the Kapoors and Sanjay agreed that the film would be made without him but with Rajiv's brother Rishi in Sanjay's role.
This film was launched in 1991 after RK's Henna. As Nargis was associated with many R K films, her son Sanjay Dutt was approached to play hero. The shooting started only in 1994 and Rishi Kapoor replaced Sunjay due to his personal problems with law, Jal Mistry was the cinematographer. He was the cinematographer of Barsaat in 1949.
