Director Krishna Shah left the film after several arguments with the producer Jatin. Finally Jatin took over as director.
: Try, try againKrishna Shah is one person who certainly doesn't believe in the adage 'Once bitten, twice shy'. Even after the phenomenal non-success of his over-publicised Shalimaar which turned out to be a veritable damp squib, producer-director Shah is ready to take another plunge into the Hindi film world. Amma his latest venture, already has shooting schedules laid out from November 24, with locations in Gujarat and the seaside resort of Daman chosen for the filming of this new cinematic foray. The movie, which will star Raakhee in the title role, has only a cast of other unknowns to sustain it. This is in vivid contrast to the glittering galaxy of stars which his earlier Shalimaar had - with the internationally known Rex Harrison our very own home-made he-man Dharmendra and the luscious Zeenat Aman. Shah, who is considered a successful director in America where he is settled, has had Kamleshwar, Hindi story writer and Bombay TV personality, write the script. The shooting will be whirlwind and will take a mere 45 days. In fact, though Shah has yet to make an indelible mark on the Bombay tinsel world, he has nevertheless managed to establish himself as a director who gets his films completed on the dot - if not earlier. And that, as several suffering producers can vouchsafe is an achievement .
the film was launched in 1982. Krishna Shah abandoned the film and went back to America. He gave his assistant Deepak Balraj instructions to finish the film. The producer said Krishna had no authority to tell anyone to take over the film.
Helena Luke was auditioned for the role of Rakhee's daughter. She ended up losing the role due to her weight .
