Trivia:
Raveena Tandon does a striptease during the song "Yeh Raat" which is inspired from Demi Moore's dance from the movie Striptease (1996).

While shooting the wolf chase scene, the wolf was actually running after its trainer (who isn't shown in the film), unaware that Manoj was running behind it holding a knife. When the wolf realized this, it started chasing Manoj, who just about escaped the its clutches and ran inside his van.

There is a dialogue in the film whereAmitabh Bachchan's calls Raveena Tandon a "Beautiful Bitch". It was censored out by the Indian censor board and the expletive is muted.
