Trivia
- The film was originally made in Telugu as 'Maga Maharaju' in 1983, with the same director and lead actor.
- It was one of the few Hindi films where Jeetendra played a more serious, action-oriented role instead of his usual dancing hero image.
- The movie's music was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, a top duo who rarely worked on direct South Indian remakes in Hindi.
- Actress Sridevi, the female lead, was simultaneously shooting for multiple films in different languages during this period.
- The plot revolves around labor issues, a theme common in the director's Telugu films but less frequent in mainstream Hindi cinema of the era.
- Despite its stars, the film was not a major commercial success and is less remembered compared to other Jeetendra-Sridevi collaborations.
- The director, Dasari Narayana Rao, was known for his prolific output, directing over 150 films in Telugu and Hindi.
