Mahesh Bhatt revealed in 2012 that this film was, in fact, autobiographical and was the story of his first love.

It was Mahesh Bhatt who convinced Kumar to let him use the songs in this film and produce it jointly with Vishesh Films.

Gulshan Kumar had initially planned to release the songs of this film as a non-film album.Rahul Roy's lines in this film were dubbed by actor Aditya Pancholi.The first film of this series of films was released in 1937 and was followed by adaptations in 1941, 1954, 19. 'A Star Is Born' (1976) itself was one among a series of films with the same title and premise. The sequel's plot was independent of this film and was inspired by the film 'A Star Is Born' (1976). Vishesh Films and T-Series followed up this film with a sequel in 2013.

Rani Malik made her debut as a lyricist in this film.They worked together in only one other film after this, 'Gajab Tamaasa' (1992), but could not replicate the success of this film. This was the debut Hindi film of its lead actors Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal.The success of the film's music also established T-Series as the leading film music label and significantly expanded India's music business. Music directors Nadeem - Shravan, singers Kumar Sanu and Anuradha Paudwal, and lyricist Sameer won Filmfare Awards for this film - one of the rare instances of a single film winning all music-related Filmfare Awards. It transformed the careers of the musical artists involved in its making, all of whom had worked for years in Hindi films without much success. This remains one of the most successful Hindi film soundtrack albums of all time.
