After his debut hit Rocky in 1981, Sanjay Dutt gave many flop films and even contemplated that he would not return to the films. Later, Jaan ki Baazi marked a comeback for Dutt and he appeared in successful films throughout the 80s such as Imaandaar, Inaam Dus Hazaar, Jeete Hain Shaan Se (1988) and many more to name.
