Rekha was to portray an obese woman and used padding for her role. Some of her scenes had Reshma Pathan as her body double. 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".
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.
