Trivia:
Due to the erotic scenes, this film was banned in India and Pakistan.

The production had to use a fake title "Tara and Maya" in order to film in India. Indian authorities would not have permitted the film to be made there had they known its true title and content.

While filming in India, government officials visited the set and the cast had to improvise fake scenes to avoid nudity and sexuality that was critical to the plot.
