A remake of The Excorcist.
Kulbushan Kharbanda was a dubbing artiste in the movie.
Padmini Kolhapure had courted a controversy when this movie was released. A film on exorcism that revolved around a young girl possessed by a spirit, there was a nude backless shot that featured Padmini with a tantric played by Amrish Puri.
Director Aruna Raje (one half of the erstwhile Aruna-Vikas team that made Gehrayee) remembers that they first got an okay from her parents since Padmini was still a minor. Aruna-Vikas then explained the scene in explicit detail to her before she came on board. "I put a long orangish shawl on her that completely covered her front. We thought that even if some part of it was seen, it would pass off as a reflection of the fire in front of her.
"Luckily, Padmini had long hair which covered much of her bare back and only just before the shoot, I pulled down her panty. Everything was so beautifully handled that not for a moment was anybody embarrassed."
