R.D. Burman had used the tune of this song earlier for the Bengali non-film song "Bodhua Rimi Jhimi Ei Srabane" ("Kotha Kotha Khunjechhi Tomay", 1986). He used the same tune again for the Telugu film song "Jeevitham Sapthasagara Sangamam" ("Chinni Krishnudu", 1988). While the Bengali song was an Asha Bhosle solo, the Hindi and Telugu versions were duets sung by Asha and S.P. Balasubramaniam.[1]
