Trivia
- The film was originally planned as a sequel to the 1985 hit 'Mard', with Amitabh Bachchan reprising his role, but the idea was dropped.
- Amitabh Bachchan performed many of his own stunts, including a scene where he hangs from a helicopter.
- The movie's climax was shot at the historic Golconda Fort in Hyderabad, a location rarely used in 80s Bollywood.
- It features one of the earliest uses of a motion-control camera in Hindi cinema for special effects scenes.
- The film's title track 'Toofan' was composed by Anu Malik, marking one of his first major hits as a composer.
- Despite high expectations, the film underperformed at the box office, ending the director-actor duo's successful streak.
- A subplot involving the magician brother was heavily trimmed before release, making some scenes feel abrupt.
