Trivia

• The film's title song 'Waqt Ki Deewar' was sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar, but the music director Kalyanji-Anandji reused the tune from their own 1976 Kannada film 'Bili Hendthi'.
• Actor Jeetendra, who plays Inspector Amar Khan, was known for his 'white shoes' style, but in this role he wore the standard police uniform, a departure from his usual colorful image.
• This was one of the few films where veteran actor Pran played a wholly positive character, the kind-hearted Sher Khan, instead of his famous villain or anti-hero roles.
• The movie features a rare screen pairing of Neetu Singh and Jeetendra, as the romantic couple Soni and Amar, despite a significant real-life age gap between the actors.
• Director Ravi Tandon shot a dramatic scene where Sanjeev Kumar's character is trapped in a fire, requiring complex safety arrangements and multiple takes.
• The film's plot of separated brothers, one a criminal and one a policeman, was a popular 'lost-and-found' melodrama formula in Indian cinema of the era.
• Despite a star-studded cast, the film was not a major commercial success upon release, overshadowed by bigger hits of 1981 like 'Kudrat' and 'Naseeb'.
