criticism
Guddi seems to want to tear apart the star myth and not only want to show how films are made, but also the dark side of poverty and exploitation. What he does, however, is perform a small parade of movie stars.
Others
- Dharmendra is said to have asked Jaya Bhaduri : " You are the heroine of the film? Tumhari umar kya hai? " ( You are the heroine? How old are you? )
- Amitabh Bachchan was supposed to play the role of Navin, but Mukherjee wanted an unknown face and since Bachchan was very successful in Mukherjees Anand , he was no longer an option. He can only be seen in a small scene.
