Director Paul Mayeda Berges cast Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the role of Tilo while she was working on Bride & Prejudice (2004). He gave her the script to read and was interested in the part of Tilo, and so Paul cast her.
The motorcycle used in the film is a 2004 790cc Triumph (Hinckley) Bonneville.
Jill Hollon was originally cast for this role but had to step down due to scheduling conflicts
