Trivia
- Actor Danny Denzongpa debuted as a singer in this song. Interestingly, he did not have an acting role in the film.
- This film, in general, and this song, in particular, was considered by the Naga people as being racist. The "Aao" referred to in this song was considered to be an allusion to the Ao Naga tribe and the song's lyrics were found to be offensive in this context. Several protests were organised against the film in Shillong, Meghalaya. The filmmakers gave in to these protests and re-released the film with two changes. Firstly, they added a disclaimer in the film's opening - "The customs depicted in this film, folk dances, dresses etc. have no parallel with any of the tribes in Nagaland." Secondly, they reshot the song with different lyrics. So, while the audio records continued to have the lyrics that were considered offensive, the film had a sanitised version of the song.
