Originally Yash Raj Films wanted to rope in director Anupam Kher with his script and also wished to produce it, in a condition that the director managed to rope in Aamir Khan (Om), Shahrukh Khan (Jai), Salman Khan (Jagadish), Rani Mukherji (Ayesha), Kajol (Neetu) & Preity Zinta (Pooja) playing the leading characters. However, surprisingly, all the actors declined the film stating date problems and the project was eventually produced by Vashu Bhagnani and released by Sa Re Ga Ma HMV.
Remains the only film offered to the three big Khan's (Salman, Shahrukh Khan & Aamir Khan), together till date.
As of now, the movie has now been a cult classic.
