One of the earliest hindi films to have a confirmed gay character. Anupam Kher played the effeminate son of Amrish Puri and was shown to be in love with the older and still handsome Prem Chopra.

Due to rumors of a relationship with son Sunny Deol, Dharmendra felt signing films opposite Dimple kapadia would help squash rumors and separate Sunny from her. Dimple and Dharmendra worked opposite each other in Batwara, Shehzaade, Ganga tere desh mein, dushman devta and mast kalandar. All were flops and after 1991 the two never worked together again. Sunny continued his relationship with Dimple.
