Dev Anand discovery Christine ONeil was offered the film. But Dev Anand advised her not to sign any film till Swami Dada released.
LHF/No Fixed Abode song "Indian Street Slang" sampled a song from this film.
There was a story doing the rounds that Jeetendra wanted to do the film . Jeetu told T Rama Rao he would cut his price but the role had to be his. T Rama Rao told him the producer might not be able to afford him and was leaning towards signing Kamal Haasan as he was already in Madras so shooting the film would be easy.
This film was a remake of the Tamil film "Sattam En Kaiyil" (1978). Kamal Haasan reprised his role in the Tamil original in this film.
