The film was made by Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. It was directed by Phani Mujumdar (husband of actress Monica Desai, the younger sister of actress Leela Desai), and the music was by Khayyam. This was his 4th film (3rd independent film) after he took the name Khayyam. Earlier he was using the pseudonym of Sharma ji. He gave music independently as Sharma ji in two films = ‘Parda’ and ‘Parivartan’ (in 1949) and working as part of the team Verma ji-Sharma ji, for 1 film – ‘Heer Ranjha’ in 1948. 

[Editor Note : The full name of Verma ji of this duo is Rehman Verma. He worked as MD in Bombay till 1947, and then migrated to Pakistan when partition happened. As per Geet Kosh his name appears only in one film, ‘Heer Ranjha’ of 1948, as part of the duo Verma ji-Sharma Ji.]
