The flute solo in the prelude and interludes of this song was inspired by the flute in the song "Rain" (1969) by Jose Feliciano. "Rain" also featured in a medley sung by Usha Iyer in the film "Bombay To Goa" (1972). The tune of "Rain" was used in other Hindi film songs as well - R.D. Burman's "Maine Tumko Chaha Pehli Baar" ("Double Cross", 1973), Satyam's "Mere Dil Jhoom Jhoom Tu Gaaye Ja" ("Rani Aur Jaani", 1973) and Anu Malik's "Sun Sun Sun Barsaat Ki Dhun" ("Sir", 1993).[1][2][3][4][5]

Music director Chakravarthi adapted this song for the Telugu film song "O Priya" ("Babai Abbai", 1984).[7]
