Initially, Nanda was approached to play the female lead in the film. However, she declined the offer, as the role was not glamorous and therefore went against her modern image at the time. Thereafter, Nasir Hussain's frequent collaborator Asha Parekh was signed.

Parekh has revealed that during the shooting of the film, Khanna was introverted and had an inferiority complex as she was a far bigger star than he was. It was only after Aradhana (1969) was released two years later and Khanna became a superstar, that this tension was resolved in their subsequent films together.
