Everyone from the cast and crew were present and if Shatrughan did not arrive the film would be delayed for another 6 months. That is when Shatrughan took the next flight out to Bombay immediately. Shatrughan's family were very saddened by their holiday cut short . When Shattughan arrived at the sets he so nobody present except chaiwala's. He was confused as to what happened. He was then told Danny Denzongpa broke his leg that night before and the shooting was now canceled .
The plot was similar to Sholay where the horses were replaced by bikes.
The song " Eye of The Tiger" by Survivor is featured in the movie. It appears during a party in a bar. The original song was in the movie Rocky 3 and used by WWE superstar legend Hulk Hogan during 1982-1984.
The producer wanted the same star cast as his previous film " Haathkadi" This did not happen due to problems between Shatrughan and Reena Roy.
Hema Malini played the role of thakur of Sholay with a difference and Danny played Gabbar Singh.
