Director Yash Chopra offered Rekha the role of Chandni, since she had played a character called Chandni in his previous film Silsila (1981). She turned it down, but recommended Sridevi for the role.
Director Yash Chopra took his son Aditya Chopra on as assistant director. This began Aditya Chopra's foray into filmmaking and would provide him with valuable experience and knowledge for the making of his blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995).
Madhuri Dixit, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Madhavi and Shaheen were offered the role of Devika. They rejected it since the role was small and the movie belonged to the Queen Bee Sridevi. Juhi Chawla who was a relative newcomer and adored Sridevi agreed to do the role. This worked in her favor since Yash Chopra later cast her in DARR and gave her a total image makeover.
An instrumental tune in the film went on to become the song "Kabhi Main Kahoon" in Yash Chopra's next film Lamhe (1991).
all three lead actors passed back to back within 3 years of Vinod Khanna in 2017,Sridevi in 2018 and Rishi Kapoor in 2020.
