Trivia
- The film's title 'Jaadugar' was also the title of a famous 1970 song by Kishore Kumar, though the two are unrelated.
- Prakash Mehra originally planned to cast Amitabh Bachchan, but due to scheduling conflicts, he cast his frequent collaborator Jeetendra instead.
- The film's music was composed by Kalyanji-Anandji, marking one of their final major scores for a Prakash Mehra production.
- It features a cameo by veteran actor Kader Khan, who was a regular writer for Mehra but appears on screen here in a small role.
- The movie's plot involving a fake godman reflected a common social theme in late-1980s Hindi cinema, similar to films like 'Naseeb Apna Apna'.
- Despite starring Jeetendra and Meenakshi Seshadri, the film was not a major box office success upon its release.
- Parts of the film were shot in picturesque locations in Ooty, a popular hill station for Bollywood films of that era.
