The film seemed jinxed from the beginning of its conception.Prakash Mehra wanted to make the film with Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna in 1979. The film was titled "Ghulami". When Rajneesh heard about the film, he objected to Vinod acting in the film . At that time, the script had Vinod as a follower of a fake guru. Rajneesh felt that the film Ghulami was mocking him . But the film got shelved when Vinod decided to quit films. Prakash Mehra had decided to make the film with Kunal Goswami sometime in the 80's, but that idea also did not work. Prakash Mehra then wanted to restart the film once again in 1986, but Amitabh was concentrating on a political career. Mehra had thought of signing Vinod Khanna for the lead role with either Mithun or Sanjay Dutt in the second role. But the film once again fizzled out. Thats when Amitabh asked Prakash Mehra why they were not working together.So finally the film went on sets on December 21, 1987. Prakash Mehra finally once again restarted the film with Amitabh. Mehra approached Vinod for the secondary role, but Vinod and Vinod signed this time. But he left the film due to Prakash Mehra not agreeing to pay his price. Vinod wanted the same amount as Amitabh. Mithun Chakraborty was then signed for the role and even shot for it. He too exited the film as he realized he had a very weak role in the film. That is when Prakash Mehra signed newcomer Aditya Pancholi.
