Trivia

• The film's title is a direct reference to the classic Hindi song 'Aaja Tujhko Pukare Mere Geet' from the 1965 film 'Geet Gaaya Pattharon Ne', which also features the line 'Sun Meri Laila'.
• Actor Raj Kiran, who played the lead role of Vicky, was primarily known for supporting roles and this film was a rare leading man opportunity for him.
• The movie features music by Kalyanji-Anandji, but its soundtrack did not achieve the same massive popularity as many of the composers' other 1980s works.
• Actress Kim, who played Annie, was a former Miss India (1979) and this film was among her early acting projects in Bollywood.
• The plot's conflict between a family-approved match and a love interest from a different social class was a common theme in early 1980s Hindi cinema.
• A key filming location was the famous RK Studio in Mumbai, which was founded by the legendary actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor.
• Despite its star cast including Amrish Puri and Shashi Kapoor in supporting roles, the film is not widely remembered or available on modern streaming platforms.
