The trio had collaborated on Aap Ke Deewane (1980), a film presented by Rakesh Roshan and directed by Surendera Mohan. Starring Rishi Kapoor, Rakesh Roshan, and Tina Munim, the movie also featured Jeetendra in a special guest appearance. Rakesh revealed that since Rishi and Jeetendra were close friends off-screen, he ensured a song sequence was included to bring all three actors together on-screen.
