Producer Mehra commented that she had done a "wonderful job of losing and gaining weight".
This film is a remake of the 1986 American comedy Ruthless People starring Danny DeVito and Bette Midler, but had a different climax. It also marked the first time Shah and Arshad Warsi appeared in the same film and the last film produced by Prakash Mehra.
