  • Dilip Kumar and Nutan returned to the screen together after 27 years, having last appeared in 'Milan' in 1967.
  • The character name 'Dada Thakur' was reportedly inspired by a real-life Mumbai underworld figure from the 1970s.
  • The film's budget was considered very high for its time, partly due to the extensive use of imported explosives for action sequences.
