Raakhee never agreed to do special appearances except for Dev Anand (Joshila, Here Panna, Lootmaar). In Laawaris she made a special concession for Prakash Mehra at the behest of Amitabh Bachchan who had helped give her career a second lease of life with Kabhi Kabhie.
In the famous dog scene where Amitabh feeds the dog a hot chili, Zeenat Aman enters the restaurant with 2 unexplained mark blemishes on her face. Possibly from a previously edited out scene in the movie. As the scene progresses into a song, Zeenat's blemish mysteriously disappears.
