This film was completed during Betaab. It was to be released after Betaab but Dharmendra kept delaying its release as he thought the film won't do well and his son was in top position after the super success of Betaab. Another film was also made alongside Betaab, the film was Heer Ranjha and was being directed By Ram Maheshwari that also was shelved.
One story doing the rounds was that Dharmendra saw the initial rushes of the film and was very upset. He offered the director extra money and asked him to add some action scene's. The director took offense to this suggestion declined Dharmendra's offer.

Padmini Kohlapure was offered the film and agreed to the role. But due to the amount of exposure required, she declined the film.
