Production
Shantaram's films of the 1960s are cited as "spectacular", with overindulgence of songs and dances in films like ''
Stree'' (1961), ''
Sehra'' (1963), and ''
Geet Gaya Patharon Ne'' (1964).
Jeetendra had originally refused to work with Mumtaz, who was making her transition from character roles and B-Films to heroine role. Mumtaz stated in an interview that Shantaram refused to accommodate Jeetendra and told him that he could leave the film but he would continue with Mumtaz as the heroine. Mumtaz had done small parts in Shantaram's earlier films ''Stree'' (1961) and ''Sehra'' (1963).
