The song featured Kersi Lord on the accordion, Homi Mullan on the duggi, and Manohari Singh on the saxophone.[1]
This was perhaps the first instance of a Hindi film song shot in a single take. According to actress Sharmila Tagore, this was not the result of a creative decision but simply "a matter of convenience". Director Shakti Samanta decided to shoot the song in one take due to a paucity of time - Rajesh Khanna had to go somewhere and his availability was limited. The cast and crew rehearsed the songs a few times before the final take was shot.[2][MR12]
