Chunky Pandey's first film.
Dilip Kumar was first approached to play Dharmendra's role.
This film was a remake of a 1977, Surendra Mohan directed film, Hathyara in which Pran's role was played by Dharmendra in Aag Hi Aag.
Sumeet Saigal was signed for the film but later replaced by Chunky Pandey.
Govinda was suppose to do the film. But Pahlaj Nihalani had a problem with Govinda's brother Kirti Kumar. Kirti wanted all the producers who signed Govinda to him (Kirti) give a role also. This caused Pahlaj to have a argument with Kirti Kumar. Govinda left the film and Chunky Pandey left the film.
