Trivia
- The film was inspired by the 1982 American horror movie 'The Entity', which also deals with a woman being tormented by a supernatural force.
- Director B.R. Ishara was known for bold, offbeat films, but this was one of his few forays into the horror genre.
- Actress Smita Patil was initially considered for the lead role before it went to newcomer Shabana Azmi's look-alike, Sangeeta Bijlani.
- The movie's title song 'Woh Phir Aayegi' became a popular radio hit, despite the film's average box office performance.
- It features special effects typical of 1980s Hindi horror, like simple optical overlays to show the ghost's presence.
- The film's climax was shot in a specially constructed set to depict the ancient temple ruins central to the story.
- This was one of the early horror films to blend revenge themes with possession, a concept later used in many Bollywood movies.
