Tinnu Anand was given a car as a payment for production of the film. Tinnu Anand was perturbed that Rishi used to come for the sets late at 10:30 am while Shashi used to shoot from 7 to 9 am, hence the film took 5 years in making.
Veteran Writer Inder Raj Anand, his son Veerendra Anand, ( also called Tinnu Anand ) makes his debut as director with this film. Tinnu Anand was assistant to filmaker Satyajit Ray. Tinnu Anand had married veteran actor Agha daughter and Jalal Agha's sister.
