Did you know

• Javed Jaffery was upset a huge part of his role was edited out. He reasoned the producers told him the film was getting very long. Javed was furious why only his role was slashed and no one else.

• Sonam was signed for the film and did not show up for the mahurat . This angered Aamir Khan and he pressured the producer to drop Sonam from the film. Sonam later reasoned that she had a high fever. Sonam and Aamir would go on to have a a heated rivalry as Sonam was dropped from 2 more Aamir Khan films, Aatank Hi Aantank and Isi Ka Naam Zindagi.

• Aamir Khan was angry with the director of the film. One day before the shooting began,Arun Bhatt told him about a scene that made him very uncomfortable. During the script narration the scene was not there. It was added at the last minute. Before the song "Mere Jaan Jao Naa" Aamir Khan was to talk to Javed Jaffery and teach him how to make love to his wife (which is Aamir's sister in the film !). They recorded 18 lines for Aamir to sing before the song started. When Aamir heard this he told Arun Bhatt he felt uncomfortable doing it. He was upset because he was never told about this scene. He stated that the conservative Indian audience would not accept a brother teaching his brother in law how to make love to his sister. Aamir put his foot down and the scene was eventually dropped from the film.
