Trivia:
The film was remade in 2012 with the same title, by producer Yash Johar's son Karan Johar, as a tribute to his father.

Amitabh Bachchan was initially criticized for his voice in the film, but his role would go on to become one of his most memorable and imitated characters.

To give him a gangster look, Amitabh Bachchan's mouth was stuffed with cotton wool underneath both cheeks, as was Marlon Brando's in The Godfather (1972).

Tinnu Anand, who plays Amitabh Bachchan's uncle, shaved his head to create an apparent age difference between them.
