Smashed all box office records when it released. The film ran 3 months house full in Bombay when it released in 1980.

Feroz Khan smashed up a brand new Mercedes Benz car for the parking lot scene with Amrish Puri. In 1979, it was rare to even see a Mercedes Benz on the streets of Mumbai. But when Feroz decided to execute the scene with a brand new international car,nothing stopped him.

Shakti Kapoor and Feroz Khan had a car accident. Shakti was driving his old 1961 Fiat, bought from the modelling money. Feroz Khan was driving his brand new Mercedes. They had an accident on Linking Road in Bandra (north-west Mumbai). Shakti immediately got down to fight.Feroz Khans got out of the car. When Shakti saw Feroz he forgot about the accident and told him, 'Sir, I have come from FTII and my name is Shakti Kapoor and I want to work with you. Can you please give me a role in your film? 'In those days, he was writing Qurbani with his writer K K Shukla.Feroz Khan did not say anything. He left in his car as a crowd had accumulated. After reaching his office, he called K K Shukla and told him about his accident meeting, and how Shakti Kapoor looked dangerous because of my eyes.He wanted to cast Shakti Kapoor as the film's villain. But Shuklasaab did not know who had had an accident with Feroz Khan. Shakti had met Shuklasaab's wife (actress) Daisy Irani at a party, and they had liked Shakti. Whenever Shakti was hungry, he would go to her house, and she would feed Shakti. So that evening Shakti went to Daisy Irani's house.Shuklasaab told Shakti, 'You have bad luck.'Shakti asked him what happened.He told Shakti he had recommended his name for a role in Qurbani, but it was rejected because some idiot banged his car against Feroz Khan's car and he wanted that boy.Shakti told him that it was him, and he immediately called Feroz Khan to tell he had found the boy. That's how Shakti landed the role.
