Famous for its song "Mere Angene Mein Tumhara Kya Kaam hai", sung by himself, the film also starred Zeenat Aman, Amjad Khan and Raakhee. "Laawaris" chronicled the story about the child Heera, named after a dog by a drunkard who makes him work hard for liquor. Before "Laawaris", Bachchan and Mehra worked together in films like "Zanjeer", "Muqaddar Ka Sikandar", "Hera Pheri", and "Khoon Pasina".

Bachchan recently also shared interesting anecdotes with fans from his hit film "Sharaabi" when it completed 31 years on May 19. His portrayal of an alcoholic in the film, also directed by Mehra, is considered as a benchmark for a drunkard's role by actors even today.
