Amrish Puri did not want to do the film due to role being negative. But Amrish had just turned 40 and knew positive lead roles were not going to come his way. Plus his acting guru teacher P.D. Shenoy was directing the film and he owed him his loyalty.
The film performed 'Average' at the box office. It was the last film of Babita's career before she retired from acting.
