Jyoti Bane Jwala was Jetendra's home production.
1980 was a remarkable year in Jeetendra's career as he churned out hits after hits in this year and this film was one of them.
Jyoti Bane Jwala and Prakash Mehra film Jwalamukhi had same story, both titles start from 'J' and both films had Waheeda Rehman, Vinod Mehra and Kader Khan in common. But Jyoti Bane Jwala released first and proved a blockbuster success.
Moushumi's role appears truncated especially in the second part of the movie. That's because she was pregnant with her second daughter during the time. Sarika benefitted from this and her role got extended. Moushumi always values her personal life over her movies. She had let go of the song Hai Hai yeh majboori in Roti Kapda Aur Makaan 1974, since she was pregnant with her first daughter Zeenat had benefited then, as the song was then picturized on her and turned out to be a huge hit.
Vinod Mehra also worked in Jwalamukhi 1980, the film that had the exact same story line as Jyoti Bane Jwala. Jeetendra and Prakash Mehra would keep asking Vinod what was happening in on the others sets. Vinod stated that when he signed Jwalamukhi he knew briefly about his role. When he signed Jyoti Bane Jwala he left the discretion entirely up to Jeetendra and the director.
