Mohan Baggad, Mehar Mittal, Veerendra, Daljeet Kaur, and Yash Sharma in Batwara (1983)

Trivia

Batwara

Edit
It was also Yograj's debut film. Veerendra had met him socially and offered him the part. Both Daljit Kaur and Priti Sapru were being considered for the leading lady's role. After 'Sarpanch' Veerendra wanted to repeat Priti Sapru for 'Batwara', but producers (Avtar Singh and Balwinder Singh) insisted that Daljit Kaur should be signed, as she looked perfect as the Punjabi Girl while Priti Sapru would be a misfit. So Daljit Kaur was signed for the leading role.
Mohan Baggad was not supposed to play the role of younger brother of Veerendra. It was Jagdev Nijher (An NRI friend of Veerendra who had acted and invested in few of his films) who was to do it. But post 'Sarpanch' and 'Balbiro Bhabhi', Baggad became famous and Veerendra insisted that Baggad play the role. Earlier he had played his elder brother in 'Balbiro Bhabhi' and then in 'Batwara' he was playing the role of his younger brother while Jagdev Nijher was given the role of Yograj's elder brother.
For the role of Chachi, Veerendra wanted to sign Shammi Aunty. But she was busy with other films and Arpana Chaudhary was approached. She was doing leading roles and in 'Batwara' she was given a substantial character role. It was funny that during an emotional scene of her character's death scene everyone was to cry. She, later on, said, 'Tusi Mainu Changi Bhali jawan Nu buddhi bana ditta'"
The 'Sarpanch' fame, Diana was Jagdev Nijher's girlfriend at the time and was also given a part in the film opposite Mehar Mittal.
The film was shot in and around Jalandhar and it was wrapped within one month. For the songs too, locations were finalized within and around Jalandhar.
