Hrishikesh Mukherjee says "Anari was a big hit. Then people started offering me two lakhs of rupees those days for directing a film and I knew they are not offering me they are offering to my success because when Musafir failed even with Dilip Kumar they said don't touch him with a pair of tongs. Now they are offering me so much money. So I decided to make that film in Bengali in Calcutta, Balraj somewhere heard about it and asked me why you are not making it in Hindi?"
