Woh Saat Din was a remake of the 1981 Tamil film Andha 7 Naatkal. Director Bapu had successfully remade Andha 7 Naatkal as Telugu film Radha Kalyanam (1981), so was signed up for the Hindi remake Woh Saat Din. The Tamil film was also later remade in Kannada as Love Maadi Nodu (1989).

Anil Kapoor had been unsuccessful in landing a lead role and played small bit parts in movies like Shakti (1982). He was finally launched as a hero in his family’s home pro[1]duction, which was produced by his father Surinder Kapoor and brother Boney Kapoor.

Legend has it that Anil and his brother Boney had gone to Chennai to buy the film’s rights but they did not have enough money, so had to borrow from Sanjeev Kumar and Shabana Azmi. The film was initially titled Sanjog during its production in 1982, but later changed to Woh Saat Din.

Padmini Kolhapure had agreed to do the film but she was a big star and heavily in demand. It was Anil’s job to convince her to give the dates for shooting, and he would send a daily tiffin to her house.

Acclaimed actor Naseeruddin Shah also initially refused the film because he didn’t want to play a supporting role to Anil. Producer Boney finally convinced him by paying a higher fee, as he felt his presence would help sell the film to distributors, since no one knew who lead star Anil was at the time.

This was the debut movie of acclaimed actor Satish Kaushik. He was given `201 to play a small role in the film, but Anil requested his brother to pay him an extra `300. His scene was shot at a temple in Worli (Mumbai), and he was given his fees there, which is why Kaushik considered it his lucky place.
