Final film released at Mumbai's iconic Apsara cinema.
Dharmendra got angry at a trade paper for writing Anil Kapoor's name before Sunny Deol's in the Joshilaay poster. This piece of news made it to all the media. It was Boney Kapoor who would go on to verify the story.
The second film Shekhar Kapur started after Masoom. Joshilaay was action film completely different from Masoom. Nobody from the star cast of Masoom was repeated in Joshilaay.
Jaya Pradha was offered the film in 1983. The role was opposite Anil Kapoor . She declined as she thought he was too small a star .
Shekhar Kapur after quoting Joshilaay, he contrated on Dushmani & Time Machine. But again he quited Dushmani and Time Machine was shelved. He began Bandit Queen then and concentrated on foreign projects.
