Dharmendra was the narrator of the film.
Speculation was that Reem Kapadia auditioned for the lead role. When Dimple found out, she insisted that the producers sign her instead.
Raj Babbar stated his role did not have the required impact due to Ravinder Peepat making the character repent in the climax. Babbar was in the impression he would stay negative in the climax. His character ended up gaining sympathy from the audience. Ravinder Peepat got pressured by the distributors to change the original climax which was very powerful.
Anil Kapoor was offered the film Lava in 1983. He agreed to do the film but he had some conditions before he were to accept the film. The producer refused his conditions and gave the role to Raj Babbar. Anil wanted a higher billing in the credits over Rajiv Kapoor.
The film was originally titled "Pyar Karne Wale".
