The song Do Deewane Pyar Ke partly sampled Donna Summer song I Feel Love.
Deb Mukhejee grabbed hold of Anu Malik at a party and threaten to bash him up. This was due to a song in Mangal Pandey sounding the exact same as a song in Karate.Deb felt Anu lifted the tune from Karate. Anu Malik explained that Bappi Lahiri and he both copied the same English song.
In 1984 Bappi Lahiri released a Bengali album Dujane and created the song Tum tum Tumba as Boom Boom Bumba sung by Runa Laila.
Mangal Pandey song "No Parking" was sampled from Nabil & The Savannahs song "Karibuni Kenya". The song "Do Diwane Pyar Ke" from Karate was also sampled from "Karibuni Kenya".
