In the song "Dastaan-E-Om Shanti Om" you can see Shanti's ghost on a balcony behind Mike, just after he chased Sandy for the first time. The ghost of Shanti is wearing the same costume as Shanti did when she died.

Farah Khan was originally going to make a film called "Happy New Year." The film was to be a romantic comedy set at New Year's Eve and would star 'Shah Rukh Khan', Juhi Chawla, Raveena Tandon, Amitabh Bachchan, Manisha Koirala, Sanjay Dutt, Zayed Khan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. However, due to the actors' scheduling conflicts, she scrapped the idea and chose another concept based on/inspired from various 1970s films
