The bass line of the song Hum To Mohabbat Karega was also sampled from Michael Jackson song Thriller. Chiranjeevi song "Goli Maat" from 1990 film Kondaveeti Donga, also sampled Thriller. Johnny Lever's entry scene in Mahakaal uses Michael Jackson's Thriller.
Bobby Deol first attempted to trim his hair and shave off his sideburns. In certain scenes in the film,Bobby's hair can be seen longer. But after shooting a few scenes he decided the look was not working out and decided to cut off his long hair completely.
Bobby Deol openly said the film was bad that's why it flopped.
