Vijay Anand wanted to shoot this song in the Qutub Minar. While he was able to shoot outdoors at the minaret, he found out that the insides were too cramped to conduct a film shooting. He ended up replicating the winding staircase of the Minar in Mehboob Studios in Mumbai. According to Vijay Anand's son Vaibhav, it was the set that was rotating while the camera was kept steady.[1][2]
Vijay Anand made a cameo appearance in the song. He is the man in glasses who walks up the staircase as Dev Anand and Nutan's characters descend it.
