Only four 70mm prints of Around the World were released initially: one for Delhi, one for Uttar Pradesh and two for Bombay-Maharashtra. The same 70mm print was screened at two cinema halls in Delhi, which had different show timings. It would be taken back and forth between the two halls in a car. It was exactly the same with India's second 70mm film, Sholay.
Initially Sadhana was selected as lead actress..but she developed thyroid problem and went abroad for treatment.Hence she was replaced by Rajashree.
This movie is most probably the first Bollywood movie to be shot in USA and Canada.Apart from scenes shot in mainland USA, a song is shot in Hawaii.
The film was originally titled "Around The World in Rs.75".
It was during the filming of this movie in America that the actress Rajshree met her would-be husband and got married eventually. He is a White guy (American citizen)
