• For the Shahrukh Khan song (which he sung himself), 'Mansoor Khan' was given the option of Apun Bola (which was in the movie) or Aati Kya Khandala (from the film Ghulam (1998)). Aati Kya Khandala ended up being a bigger hit.
• The movie was in the making for four years.
• The role of Prakash was originally offered to the director 'Mansoor Khan''s cousin, Aamir Khan; however, Aamir turned down the role because he felt that it was a very small role compared to Shahrukh Khan's role of Max.
• Kajol was the original choice for the role of Shirley.
• Aishwarya Rai wore minimal make-up and tanned her skin in order to look the part of a Goan.
• Shahrukh Khan wore blue contacts in the film in order to look more like Aishwarya Rai in the film.
