Moushumi Chatterjee was approached for the film. She readily agreed causing the media to report that she accepted a supporting role to actress Surinder Kaur because Moushumi was having an affair with Farooq Sheikh. She accepted the lesser role for a wrong reason. Moushmi stated this was wrong as she worked with the director in the movie "Rusvai" and only was helping him. He asked her to sign the film so he could sell it to distributors. She was having discussions but finally decided not to do the film. Evevntually Aruna Irani did the role.
