Mazhar Khan stated that doing the film was a big mistake.
The Mazhar Khan and Zarina Wahab love affair was a publicity stunt by the producers to hype the film.
When the film Roohi (1981) was launched, Nutan and her son Mohnish Bahl were signed for the film. Mazhar Khan was signed to play Nutan's husband. After Nutan and Mohnish opted out, Mazhar stepped into the role of the son.
Mazhar Khan asked the producer to replace Zarina Wahab with upcoming model Sabita Dhanrajgir.
Roohi and Love Story released on the same day. Roohi launched Mukesh Khanna and Love Story launched Kumar Gaurav. Roohi was a box office disaster and Love Story a blockbuster. Mukesh always blamed Kumar Gaurav and Love Story for his poor start in films. The audience rejected Mukesh Khanna and Roohi. But in due time, Kumar Gaurav's career came crashing and at the same time Mukesh Khanna became a rage on television with his TV serials.
