The "Life" magazine that Rajoo (Raj Kapoor) reads on the flight to Mumbai has the same picture on the cover as the one issued in the US on 16 September 1966. The cover shows the famous picture of Sophia Loren in her lingerie by Alfred Eisenstaedt beside the headline "The Face of Our Time". The magazine held by Rajoo is an Asia edition whose other headline ("Election surprise in Vietnam") is different to the US edition's "Assassination in South Africa" suggesting that it must have been published later.
