The movie is produced by Baboo Mehra and directed by Rakesh Kumar.

The movie stars Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Rekha, Nirupa Roy, Asrani, Aruna Irani, Bharat Bhushan and Kader Khan.

A comedic action scene featuring Bachchan fighting a tiger as well as a taciturn Vinod Khanna are the highlights of the movie.

It was remade in Telugu as Tiger (1979) with N. T. Rama Rao and in Tamil by Rajinikanth as Siva (1989).

The other hero Shera/Aslam (Vinod Khanna) too fights crime and criminals but is taciturn and a loner.
