Kamal Hassan regretted doing the film in Hindi. He felt the north audience wanted to see Kamal in a nice love story after Ek Dujhe Ke Liye and Sanam Tere Kasam. Instead he made a different film that was accepted by the Tamil audience because they had already saw Kamal in a 100 Tamil films.
This Movie was a remake of the Tamil language film "Varumayin Niram Sivappu" (1980), which was simultaneously shot in Telugu language as "Aakali Rajyam", directed by K. Balachander, this movie Hindi language dialogues were written by Gulzar.
