-When the production house approached director Pankaj Parashar, he agreed to direct only if Sridevi was signed for the role. The twin siblings theme had been filmed in earlier hits [[Raam Aur Shyam]] and [[Seeta Aur Geeta]]. Sridevi's award winning performance continued this streak. The song 'Na Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai' became a chartbuster and remains a rage till date. Actor Aftab Shivdasani makes his debut as the child actor in the film. Sridevi was nominated in the Filmafare Best Actress category that year for both [[Chaalbaaz]] and [[Chandni]] and eventually won for [[Chaalbaaz]]. Amitabh Bachchan presented her the trophy.
