Influences

* The song "Pal Bhar Ke Liye" composed by Kalyanji-Anandji, and performed by Kishore Kumar in this film was used at the end of The Simpsons episode Kiss Kiss, Bang Bangalore (2006).

* A scene of the film is shown in the 2007 thriller "Johnny Gaddaar", prompting a character to give "Johnny" as a fake name and hence the film title.
