Trivia

  • The film was originally planned with Rishi Kapoor and Sunny Deol in the lead roles, but they were replaced by Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini.
  • This was the only film where legendary singer Kishore Kumar sang for actor Mithun Chakraborty, performing the song 'Tere Bina Jiya Jaye Na'.
  • The movie's climax was shot in Kashmir, but due to political unrest, the crew had to finish filming under tight security.
  • Despite starring major stars, the film was a commercial failure and did not recover its production costs.
  • Actress Hema Malini performed her own stunts for several action sequences, which was uncommon for leading heroines at the time.
  • The soundtrack by Shiv-Hari became popular, especially the song 'Tere Bina Jiya Jaye Na', which remains a classic.
  • Director Yash Chopra reused the name 'Vijay' for the protagonist, a name he gave to many of his heroic characters in films like 'Deewaar' and 'Trishul'.
