Production
Kamal Haasan was originally signed to play the lead role and an advertisement was commissioned to appear in a Screen magazine noting "Welcome back to the Hindi screen", pointing at the actor's return to Hindi films after 1985's Dekha Pyaar Tumhara. However, due to no producer willing to back the actor in the film, Rajkumar Santoshi changed the star cast.
Raveena Tandon was originally cast in the female lead role, but she withdrew from the film shortly after beginning filming.
