This was Amitabh Bachchan's first Hindi film song as a singer. He was reluctant to sing it but finally gave in to the repeated insistence of director Rakesh Kumar and music director Rajesh Roshan.[1]
This song was recreated by Shamir Tandon for the film "Satrangee Parachute" (2011). The recreated version was sung by Usha Uthup.[2]
