Kishore Kumar always asked for his payment in advance before he rendered a song. But he made an exception this film. Neither did he demand his payment in advance, nor did he ask for it even after the song was recorded. When a shocked Rajesh Khanna asked him why, Kishore Kumar's reply was that he had got a fresh lease of life as a singer with Aradhana (1969) and since this was Rajesh Khanna's first film as producer, he had no right to accept any money.
Rajesh Khanna's daughter, Baby Twinkle Khanna sounded the clapper board, Mrs. Yash Chopra directed the first shot, Mrs. Mohan Kumar broke the coconut and Mrs. J. Om Prakash switched on the camera. The reason for an "all ladies" show was attributed to the fact that since the film is full of ladies appeal, it was the right to start the film that way.
