Lata Mangeshkar, who was the producer of this film, wanted Sridevi to play the lead role in this movie but Sridevi rejected the movie because of date hassles and because she was going through tough personal times as her father passed away and her mother's health was deteriorating. Then Lata Mangeshkar approached Dimple Kapadia who agreed to do the role.
Gulzar made the mistake of releasing the film in the Indian Panorama film festival. This put the film in the art film category. Due to this no distributor was willing to touch the film. This caused delays in the films release .
Gulzar and Vinod Khanna come together after about 20 years. They had worked together in 1970's in Mera Apne & Achanak.
The film was first offered to Sri Devi. She refused the film as she did not want to do a Gulzar type film. Then she avoided Lata Mangeshkar who was producing the film. The reason she did this was because she knew she would have to lower her price because Lata Mangeshkar was asking her to do the film.
Sunny Deol came hand in hand with Dimple Kapadia to the films premiere. This made all headlines and magazines.
