Trivia
- The film's plot was inspired by the 1978 Telugu movie 'Manavoori Pandavulu', which was also directed by K. Bapayya.
- This was one of the few films where actor Jeetendra played a double role, portraying both the honest man and the smuggler.
- The music was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, but the soundtrack did not achieve the same popularity as their other 1980s hits.
- Actress Reena Roy, who played the female lead, was a major star at the time but this film is not among her most remembered works.
- The movie's climax and revenge theme were typical of the 'lost and found' melodramas popular in Hindi cinema during that era.
- Despite having established stars, 'Takkar' was not a major commercial success upon its release.
- The title 'Takkar', meaning 'clash' or 'conflict', directly refers to the confrontation between the stepson and the villains.
