Trivia
- The film's title song 'Duniya' was sung by Kishore Kumar and became a hit, but it was actually a recreated version of a 1981 Pakistani pop song by Mohammad Ali Shehki.
- Ramesh Talwar, the director, was primarily known for lighthearted films and comedies, making this gritty revenge drama a departure from his usual style.
- Actor Ashok Kumar, who played a supporting role, was a last-minute replacement for another veteran actor who fell ill before shooting.
- The prison scenes were filmed at a real, functioning jail in Maharashtra, with permission from the state government.
- A subplot involving the female lead's backstory was heavily edited out before release, making her character less prominent than originally scripted.
- The film's climax was inspired by a famous scene from the 1972 Hollywood film 'The Getaway', but adapted for an Indian setting.
- Despite its action genre, the movie's original cut was over 3 hours long before producers insisted on significant trims for theatrical release.
