Trivia
There were several stories going around about the film. The first was that Manoj Kumar's father got angry at Manoj for not doing anything for his younger brother Rajeev. He yelled at Manoj to make a film for Rajeev and launch him. Finally Manoj relented and Painter Babu was born. Upon seeing the final product, Manoj's father grew even more angry and upset. He noticed Manoj had spent very little on the production, as oppose to the films he would direct and act in himself. Manoj's father fell in depression. Manoj denied all allegations. He stated that when he saw Rajeev narrating the scenes to the actors in Kranti, it was there and then he saw a spark of a actor in Rajeev. He did not say anything and would wait to ask Rajeev if he wanted to act.
