The film was eight years in the making - a very long time, even for Bollywood.
During the television trailers the film showed Shahrukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit in lead and then Madhuri Dixit running towards another actor whose face was not shown for some days which the people had to guess it was then disclosed as Salman Khan.
The song Hum Tumhare Hain" from Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (2002) and "Dil Laga Liya" in Dil Hain Tumhara (2002), both have been taken from a Pakistani song of Hadiqa Kiani "Boohey Baariyan" from the album Roshni. Many other versions were made such as Hansraj Hans song "Panj Baariyan" from the album Lal Garara. Then Bangladeshi song "Eto Prem Chilo" by Andrew Kishore and Kanak Chapa from the movie O Priya Tumi Kothay. Darshan Raval song "Hawa Banke", " Buhe Bariyan" by Kanika Kapoor , " Panj Baariyan" by Humera Channa from the movie Sultana Daku.
Despite having a big star cast, bringing together the three biggest stars of the 1990s {Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit}, this film was just an average grosser at the box office.
In this film, Aishwarya Rai plays the role of Salman Khan's girlfriend. At the time of the film's release, in mid-2002, she was his real-life girlfriend.
