Production

Speaking about the film with Karan Johar, Yash Chopra recalled when he was making Vijay (1988), an action film, he felt like he was not supposed to make films like this. Later, he met with writer Kamna Chandra, who had achieved popularity after having written Raj Kapoor's Prem Rog (1982). She presented the story of a social romantic musical film to Chopra, who liked it and started casting the stars.

Initially, Rekha was approached to play the titular role; however, upon her refusal, Chopra offered the role to Sridevi who accepted the offer.

With the casting of Vinod Khanna, distributors started demanding an action sequence in the film, to which Chopra refused. Originally, the script required Khanna to save Sridevi from a fire incident. However, upon watching the completed film, Chopra felt that it did not feel like a part of the film, so he called Sridevi and Khanna back for a day's shoot to re-film their first meeting sequence.
