It was rumored during the time that Sunny Deol received a large sum for making the film. After the film flopped badly, David Dhawan avoided signing Sunny Deol for another film.
Remake of Jeetendra's Himmat.
Nihalani Pahlajj wanted Kimi Katkar for the film. But she did not want to sign a negative vamp role. Archana Puran Singh was then signed.
Dharmendra, father of Sunny Deol, played a similar role in Phool Aur Patthar (1966) (which bought him to stardom) and had the same character name Shaka.
