He felt that the film's opening was too artistic. Desai said that the film was fine, but he recommended one change. When Rai shared this feedback with Yash Chopra, the director consulted with Mangesh Desai during a re-recording session.

This film paved the path for Khayyam's second innings in films, which turned out to be a lot more successful than his first. Both Sahir and Khayyam won Filmfare Awards for the film. The risk Yash Chopra took paid dividends when the film and its music became big hits. Khayyam was an odd choice because after making a comeback to films in 1973 after a gap of six years, he had not met with much success. In what was a contrarian choice for mainstream films, Yash Chopra then hired Khayyam to compose the film's music. Since the film's central character played by Amitabh Bachchan was a poet, Sahir recommended that they move on and pick a music director who understood and appreciated poetry - Khayyam. However, the music director duo was very busy then, and it was difficult to get time from them.

There were rumours that the film's story was inspired by Sahir's life, but Yash Chopra dismissed them.
- After coming up with the film's story, which was credited to his wife Pamela Chopra, Yash Chopra brought lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi on board.
