Juhi Chawla received the Filmfare Best Actress Award for this movie. A large section of the industry felt that Meenakshi Seshadri deserved the award for her role in "Damini" or Sridevi for her performance in "Gumrah."
It is said that Aamir Khan would direct the film when director Mahesh Bhatt would not show up or be available. Aamir also helped out with the screenplay.
After Anil Kapoor rejected the main lead for the film, Sanjay Dutt was offered the part, but he too turned it down.
Kunal Khemu had his school picnic at the newly-opened Essel World during one of the scheduled shoots; his father even told Mahesh Bhatt that his son wanted to go to the picnic. Eventually, Bhatt promised Khemu that he would give him a Samurai video game if he made the shoot; he agreed to that.
This is a remake of the Hollywood movie "Overboard."
