Production

The film was originally directed by S. Sukhdev, a well-known documentary filmmaker who had previously made the feature film My Love (1970). But, Sunil Dutt decided to reshoot the entire film with himself as the director.

A widely circulated claim related to the film is that Sunil Dutt had initially dismissed casting Amitabh Bachchan because he hated his baritone voice. Subhash K. Jha later clarified that Dutt was seeking a second lead to play a mute character and told Bachchan that the role was not suitable for him because of his impressive voice.
