Mithun Chakraborthy was signed for the film but later opted out.
The second and the last film actor Ranjeet produced & directed, the first being Kaarnaama.
After Ashique, Ranjeet signed Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal for Ghazab Tamasha.
Rekha was signed for the film but demanded too much money .
Deepak Tijori claimed he was promised a parallel lead to Rahul Roy in the film by Ranjeet. He was to get three songs picturized on him.What he got was just 4 scenes. This angered him. He also mentioned he was not paid his dues for the film. He was finally paid by Ranjeet's brother, but felt like a beggar receiving his owed money.
