Mehmood, on whom the song was to be filmed, was not satisfied with it initially. This was a huge disappointment to music director Chitragupt since the song's arrangement was complex, with shifts from Western to Indian and back, and he had spent a lot of time and effort in recording it. Aruna Irani, who was to perform the song with Mehmood, asked her co-actor to listen to it again and convinced him that it would work. The song went on to become a big hit.[1]
