Amitabh Bachchan after seeing the film asked Priyadarshan how did you make it possible to shoot at Mahalakshmi's Dhobighaat. It was very much for him when he shot Don 1978 out there due to crowded place. Priyadarshan then told him that it was the set created by Sabu Cyril and not the real location.

Mukesh Rishi's debut film. Mukesh Rishi's character became so famous that for many years he was referred as Billa Jilani.

Priyadarshan wanted to shoot the climax at Mumbai's Mahalakshmi Dhobighat. But the place is too crowded and it was impossible to shoot.He asked Art director Sabu Cyril to create a similar set. Sabu Cyril who had never been on that location reached out there and captured frames of location with his camera. When Jackie Shroff, Amrish Puri and other actors reached the set they were impressed by the realistic look given by Sabu Cyril.
