Shah Rukh Khan received only a wrist watch for his pay for the film.
'Ragupathi Raghav..' played during the title sequence in the background is a Hindu devotional song but it is sung like a Mosque prayer call.
Talking about his much talked about film 'Hey Ram', Kamal Haasan revealed that there are quite a few untold stories about the film. Revealing one such story, Kamal said, "Nawazuddin Siddiqui was an assistant in the film 'Hey Ram'. He had acted a smal part in the film which was edited due to the long duration of the movie. This wasn't told to him on the day of the premire of the film. He was all dressed up in a suit and was crying in car park because of that."
When Shah Rukh first met Kamal Haasan for the first time, he was over awed. He asked if he could "touch" Kamal as he was huge fan and could not believe he was finally meeting him.
Shah Rukh Khan's character was named Amjad Khan as a tribute to Kamal Haasan's good friendship with actor Amjad Khan.
