The name of film and lead character were inspired from conman of India, Natwarlal.[1]
Getting Amitabh to sing was a gimmick tried for the first time in this movie. Kabhi Kabhi earlier had Amitabh spouting poetry in a song, but this was the first song he sang in a movie; this was aped by other fimmakers subsequently in films like Laawaris, Silsila and Pukar.
