 Director Suraj Prakash and actor Shashi Kapoor made a bet: Prakash  said the film would run for 25 weeks and Kapoor, eight weeks.  Whoever proved to be right would present the other a suit stitched  at Burlingtons. Prakash won the bet and presented the suit to  Kapoor; however, each proved to be wrong, as the film ran for 50  weeks and celebrated its golden jubilee.
