Production

Rishi Kapoor suggested Santoshi to cast Sridevi in the title role whereas Sunny Deol thought that she would be a misfit for the role. Deol suggested to cast Dimple Kapadia instead but that did not materialize. Santoshi offered the role to Madhuri Dixit who could not do it because of her conflicting dates with a previously signed film. Meenakshi Seshadri was then finalized to portray the role.
