Production

Pre-production on the film began in 1974. The film was launched in 1975 and was named as Raj Karega Khalsa. However, since Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared a state of Emergency across the country on 24 June 1975 and since the film contained certain issues like rebellion against ruling government, many people were against making of the film. However, despite troubles, after renaming the film aa Sawa Lakh Se Ek Ladaun in the year 1975, shooting got completed in the year 1975 and was ready for release in the year 1976. But again the film faced trouble from the censor board of film certification. The film was released successfully in 1976.
