This song was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who was assisting director Vidhu Vinod Chopra in this film. Pleased with his work, Chopra gave Bhansali the responsibility of directing all the songs in his next film, "1942 - A Love Story" (1994).[1][2]
Vidhu Vinod Chopra wanted to shoot this song in one go to ensure continuity. The song was therefore shot in a matter of minutes as the sun was actually setting.[3]
