R.D. Burman had his assistants blow air into half-filled beer bottles to create the sound heard in the beginning of this song.
R.D. Burman's tune for this song was adapted from Demis Roussos' "Say You Love Me" (1974). This tune was suggested to him by the film's director Ramesh Sippy.[1]
The song was supposed to be sung by Kishore Kumar. R.D. Burman, who had done the scratch recording for the song, decided to step in when Kishore Kumar got delayed for the final recording.[2]
Himesh Reshammiya recreated this song for the film "Aap Kaa Surroor" (2007).[3]
