"Aaya Toofan" (title song) was the last song Kishore Kumar sung for an Amitabh Bachchan movie before he died.
The original costume for Toofan was much different. When the film was launched, Amitabh's Toofan character wore white boots and and fancy jackets. Instead of a arrow he was holding a machine gun. They changed the character of Toofan to use a bow and arrow (baan dhanush). Black saffron pants was then used.This was due to the popularity of Ramayan on TV. The look of Toofan was changed to be a desi Robin Hood.
