According to Director Stephen Weeks, this movie was ten days into shooting in Rajasthan when the production was told by its laboratory in London, Technicolor, that all the negative thus far sent to it was "out of focus and unusable", despite being photographed by Oscar-winning cameraman Walter Lassally. It was all part of an elaborate fraud by a group of criminals in London to derail the movie and collect a big insurance pay-off. Weeks' project was ruined, and worse was to come. Technicolor then spent ten years hounding him to try to suppress the movie, which proved that at least one of its staff had been party to the fraud. Recently, a video copy of what had been shot in those first ten days surfaced, and after restoration in Prague, the twenty-seven-minute fragment is available to view at YouTube.
This production ran out of funds under Producer Mahmud Sipra. The same fate also befell his The Jigsaw Man (1983), but that was able to resume filming after a lengthy delay.
Uncompleted after fifteen days of shooting in India because of dubious production staff.
The film was closed down after two week because of money problems.
Nana Patekar and Christopher Lee clashed while filming the movie. Nana Patekar felt his drawback was not being very good in English. But he still felt superior as a actor. There was a party scene where Nana Patekar got all the punch lines and stole the show. But Christopher Lee demanded he have those lines as he was the main star. Nana Patekar could do nothing about this but ended up adding his own line. This brought the focus back onto him. The director laughed when he heard Nana Patekar's ad lib line. Christopher Lee did not notice it and later asked Nana why the director laughed. Nana told him that he used his punchline so he had to ads something new to be effective. Nana told Christopher that he (Nana) also had to contribute and that was the way the scene would work.
