The song Kaisi Baharon ki Raat is the only duet which Mohd Rafi and Mahender Kapoor sang together
Dharmendra was signed for the film but later replaced by Manoj Kumar.
Kaisi Haseen Aaj Bahaaron Ki Raat Hai
This song was originally recorded by Talat Mahmood and Mohammed Rafi. According to some accounts, Manoj Kumar got Talat Mahmood's voice replaced with Mahendra Kapoor's voice in the film. This was the only time Rafi and Mahendra Kapoor sang together for a duet. However, according to Mahendra Kapoor's son Ruhan, his father was brought in since there was a consensus that Talat's voice did not suit the song. Mahendra Kapoor apparently sought Talat's permission to sing the song and the senior singer graciously acquiesced.
