This was one of the most awaited films of 1986 as Mithun was at the top of his career and its songs were a rage back then. When released it was barely average at the box office. Producer blamed Mukul Anand for a disjointed production that lacked emotions. Dharmendra did not work with this director again.
The film had a song "Padosi Apni Murgi" that was on the LP records released. The song was not in the film. 3 years later the same lyrics were used in a song in the film Jaadugar.
Mukul Anand and the producers had several arguments over the budget of the film.
Saare Shaher Mein Ek Deewana was sampled from Stacey Q's song "Two Of Hearts".
