Janbaaz starred Feroz Khan along with Anil Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia and Sridevi in prominent roles. The film was greatly inspired by the Gregory Peck and Joseph Cotten Hollywood movie Duel in the Sun (1946).

Janbaaz became a sensation throughout the nation for a steamy lovemaking scene that featured Anil Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia.
