Nutan plays mother to Anil Kapoor for the third time after Meri Jung (1985) and Yudh (1985).
The very first pairing of Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit.
This film was one of the first film of Madhuri as the heroine along with Uttar-Dakshin.
For many years filmaker Manmohan Desai, wanted to make a film tittled Hifazat to be shot in Pakistan but as he was not getting the required permission the project kept delaying. Finally Manmohan Desai made Hifazat with some changes as Gangaa Jamuna Saraswati, and he gave the tittle Hifazat to his friend Prayag Raj. Manmohan Desai used to like the tittle Hifazat.
When the film was launched it had no title. Anil Kapoor suggested "Ajeeb Aadmi". The director loved it. It was later changed.
