This was Arko's recreation of a song composed by Laxmikant - Pyarelal for the film "Dayavan" (1988). The original song was sung by Pankaj Udhas and Anuradha Paudwal, and written by Aziz Qaisi. While the song's mukhda reused the original song's tune and lyrics, the antaras were original. This was Samir Koppikar's debut Hindi film song as a playback singer.[1]
The Censor Board told the makers of the film that the erotic content of the song would have to be toned down for it to be shown on television.[2]
