Production

The principal photography of Singaar took place in Shree Sound studios between February and May 1949. The film's was a troubled production, marked by professional rivalry between Madhubala and Suraiya. Reportedly, the latter was unhappy with Madhubala's rising fame and felt that the diligent actress did not deserve the attention director Nanda was paying to her.

Unit hands wouldn't notice the cold vibes since Suraiya and Madhubala, the actresses that they were, never gave a hint of their true feelings. But they would play games and friendly journalists would come in handy. [...] It was the producer who would have ulcers. If Madhubala had five close-ups, Suraiya wanted seven and if Suraiya was given an expensive silk sari to wear, Madhubala wanted some thing more expensive.
