- Actor Avtar Gill, known for playing villains, appears in a comic supporting role as Peter, Rahul's loyal friend who helps him run away.
- The movie was filmed partly in the scenic hill station of Chamba in Himachal Pradesh, which serves as the backdrop for the love story.
- This was one of the few 1990s Bollywood films where the lead actress, played by Shilpa Shirodkar, portrays a character named 'Nikky', a modern nickname for the era.
