Director Rakesh Roshan also played a supporting role in the film as Kimtilal's honest colleague, Raghunath.
The movie features a cameo by veteran actor Shammi Kapoor in a special appearance during a party scene.
A subplot involving a corrupt gynecologist was considered a bold critique of medical malpractice in its time.
