The director of the film, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, had rejected the tune that R.D. Burman had originally composed for this song.
The original version of this song was recorded in Kavita Krishnamurthy's voice. The song was dubbed with Lata Mangeshkar's voice after R.D. Burman's death.
Kavita Krishnamurthy's version of this song had a completely different antara than Kumar Sanu's version, though the mukhda had the same tune. However, Lata Mangeshkar's version was recorded with the same tune as Kumar Sanu's version.[MR2]
