Rajendra Kumar and Saira Banu were signed for the film but later replaced by Jeetendra and Raakhee.
Faryal stated in a interview, In 'Gold Medal' there is a scene of both of us (Prem Nath and Fariyal) are lying on a sofa. But during the shot he rolled down on to the carpet taking me along with him! Believe me, that wasn't in the script. Several minutes passed and still the shot was not getting over. Everyone including the director Ravi Nagaich and Jeetendra, was watching the fun and having a good laugh when I got up and shouted 'Will someone say cut, bloody soon?' Premnath was the least bothered himself: poor chap, he gets drowned in his roles. I am terrified to work with him. Though I know he is a tremendous artist."In the same film in another scene, he insisted on calling her a bastard. It was not in the script and she protested. He said he was not calling her a bastard, only the character in the film. "What is the use of arguing with a temperamental character like him?" Faryal asked. Fariyal later stated she quit Bollywood due to the incident. She lost faith working in Indian films.
The film was delayed for several years.
The film was launched in 1969.
Dharmendra was in a Special Appearance with a patriotic song picturized on him.
