Rahul Rawail had worked with Salim and Javed independently. Salim wrote Mast Kalandar and Javed wrote Betaab.
One of the earliest hindi films to have a confirmed gay character. Anupam Kher played the effeminate son of Amrish Puri and was shown to be in love with the older and still handsome Prem Chopra.
Due to rumor of a relationship with son Sunny Deol, Dharmendra felt signing films opposite Dimple kapadia would help squash rumor and separate Sunny from her. Dimple and Dharmendra worked opposite each other in Batwara, Shehzaade, Ganga Tere Desh Mein, Dushman Devta and Mast Kalandar. All were flops and after 1991 the two never worked together again. Sunny continued his relationship with Dimple.
Rahul Rawail always made films with Sunny Deol, but this time Rahul Rawail made a film with Dharmendra.
Rahul Rawail had directed Dharmendra's production Betaab this time Dharmendra worked in Rahul Raiwal's produced film.
