Ironically both Sridevi and Rita Bhaduri who debuted in this movie died in the same year (2018).
Vikram stated "I was offered - Julie - the biggest blunder of my life. Sure, it was a super hit, but for a hit like that, you must have a super role. Mine was the wrong role. Before this film, I had action films on one side and romantic ones on the other. I was just establishing an image. At that time, the Julie role shouldn't have happened because it was bad.The hero was suppressed in the entire film and it was totally heroine- oriented. My mistake entirely. If I hadn't done this film, I would have slowly come into my own position. After Julie was released, I had a lot of problems. I was dropped from many films. At that time, a lot of heroes had refused the film. I went by the name of Nagi Reddy, Madras banner, etc. But even one wrong move for an actor is enough. Even today, I repent doing that film.Only benefit was that before Julie, the kind of signing amounts I received were mind-boggling. And whatever money I got, I invested in shares or factories. Even today, I am secure because of those investments. I can make 10 films if I want to. Imagine, I had signed 20 films before the release of Julie and not one after it. Even Amitabh wouldn't have survived by doing that role. Because even if it's a small role, you must look like a hero. I wasn't even in the climax. (Laughs) Utpal Dutt was the hero of the film.
My Heart Is Beating was the first full fledged English song in a Hindi film.

Vikram never felt that the film would be such a big hit.
