Production

The film started production in the 1980s, but was left incomplete with its leading actor Sanjeev Kumar's death in November 1985. Ravi Tandon was the original director but left the film after Kumar's death and replaced by Shantilal Soni. At the time of his death, the film was only 75% complete and the script was subsequently changed to make his character invisible in the remaining portions of the film and complete it for release in 1993. Shekhar Suman and Dalip Tahil were added to the cast after Kumar's death. Sudesh Bhosle did the dubbing for Kumar in the film. Amitabh Bachchan was used as a narrator and paid tribute to Kumar in the final scene of the film.
