This R.D. Burman song borrowed heavily from Leo Sayer's "When I Need You".[1]
It was Anil Kapoor who asked Jackie Shroff to play the role of his elder brother in this film. Jackie was not keen on doing the film since he had never heard of director Vidhu Vinod Chopra. However, when Anil Kapoor played this song for him in his car, Jackie Shroff liked it so much that he agreed to do the film.[2]
