Trivia

Album

• This was Divya Bharti's first Hindi film. She had debuted earlier in the Telugu film, "Bobbili Raja" (1990).
• Rajiv Rai wanted to repeat the three male leads of the very successful "Tridev" (1989) - Naseeruddin Shah, Sunny Deol and Jackie Shroff - in this film. However, Jackie Shroff's son, Tiger, was born around that time and Jackie was declining all films that required him to travel out of Mumbai. Therefore, Rajiv had to bring in Chunky Pandey in Jackie's place.[1][2]
• This was actress Jyotsna Singh's only film.
• This was actress Sonam's second film with director Rajiv Rai after "Tridev" (1989). They got married in 1991 and never worked together again.[3]

Song

• Title Music (Vishwatma) - This song was an adaptation of Enigma's "Sadness".[4]
• Saat Samundar Paar (Part 1) - The arrangement in this song was sampled from Pet Shop Boys' "Heart".[5]
• Saat Samundar Paar (Part 1) - This is one of the songs in Divya Bharti's short career for which she is best remembered. To pay homage to her, Sajid Nadiadwala, who was married to her at the time, paid the music label Saregama about 1.5 crore rupees to include this song in his directorial debut, "Kick" (2014). The song was used in the film in a scene in a nightclub, with Salman Khan dancing to it.[6][7]
• Saat Samundar Paar (Part 1) - Director Rajiv Rai usually wanted tunes for songs to come before the lyrics. In this instance, however, the lyrics came first. This is because Rai was particular about using the phrase "Saat samundar paar" in the song. Lyricist Anand Bakshi had used this phrase before in the Hindi film song "Pappa Jaldi Aa Jaana" ("Taqdeer", 1967) and Rai felt that it would be appropriate in this song.[8][9]
• Toofan - Viju Shah had used the tune of this song earlier for the title song of the film "Muqaddar Ka Badshaah" (1992).[10]
