Production

Logistical issues relating to other projects in which the cast was involved meant that Shaan took three years to make. While Sholay drew its inspiration from the American Western and Spaghetti Western films, Shaan took its lead from the James Bond films with fancy sets and beautiful costumes. Shakaal, the bald villain (originally to be played by Sanjeev Kumar) played by Kulbhushan Kharbanda, was based on the James Bond villain, Blofeld.

A large golden eagle is prominent in Shakaal's island lair and in the Bollywood obligatory final song-and-dance. The eagle is reminiscent of the golden lamb in Cecile DeMille's Ten Commandments; construction on the golden eagle required outside experts to be flown in and cost (in Rupees) the equivalent of the chariot scene in Ben-Hur.

Sippy wanted to repeat the cast of Sholay (1975) for this film, but due to date issues, Sunil Dutt played the role initially offered to Sanjeev Kumar, Bindiya Goswami played the role initially offered to Hema Malini, and Shashi Kapoor played the role initially offered to Dharmendra and Shatrughan Sinha played the role which was offered to Vinod Khanna.The film was set and partially filmed on the island of Steep Holm.

Parveen Babi suffered a panic attack, after she completed shooting for the song "Pyar Karne Wale". Just after that song, there is a scene in the film, where Babi's character is inside the car and Amitabh Bachchan's character gets in the car. This scene was shot when Babi returned from the US and she recommenced work by shooting this scene.
