This film was inspired by the real-life events surrounding what was commonly known as the Nanavati case. This was a 1959 court case in which Naval Commander K.M. Nanavati was tried for the murder of his wife's lover, Prem Ahuja. The Hindi films "Achanak" (1973) and "Rustom" (2016) were also inspired by the same case.[1][2]
This was Sunil Dutt's first film as a producer. He launched his banner Ajanta Arts with this film.
