Trivia
- The film's title was inspired by the Hindu deity Krishna, who is also known as Kanhaiya, reflecting the brothers' divine-like bond.
- This was one of the earliest films where Anupam Kher and Shakti Kapoor played positive, heroic roles against their usual villainous characters.
- A major action sequence involving a helicopter was considered very expensive and technically ambitious for its time in Bollywood.
- The song 'Jumma Chumma' became a huge hit and was later recreated in the 2018 film 'Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi'.
- Director Rakesh Roshan also co-wrote the story, drawing inspiration from classic tales of separated siblings like 'The Prince and the Pauper'.
- The film's climax, set in a factory, was shot over several weeks using large, custom-built sets to create the industrial environment.
- Despite mixed reviews, it was a commercial success and helped solidify Anil Kapoor's status as a leading action-comedy star of the era.
