The film is famous for being the only Malayalam film to have featured the legendary Mohammed Rafi in its soundtrack. Being huge fans of his, the makers were keen on getting Indian cinema's favourite voice to record for them. However, Rafi commented that he needed a few weeks to learn the pronunciation of the language and without understanding the language he would not be able to impart the right emotions.[4] Rafi had died before the recording could materialise. Hence, a Hindi song was decided to be included in the film, to which he agreed, and thus "Shabab Leke" came about.
