Production
Rekha was to portray an obese woman and used padding for her role.[1] Some of her scenes had Reshma Pathan as her body double.[2] It also marked the first time in twenty years that Rekha was doing a comedy film. She had previously done one in Khubsoorat (1980). Producer Mehra commented that she had done a "wonderful job of losing and gaining weight".[3]
This film is a remake of the 1986 American comedy Ruthless People starring Danny DeVito and Bette Midler, but had a different climax.[4] It also marked the first time Shah and Arshad Warsi appeared in the same film and the last film produced by Prakash Mehra.[5][6]
