Madhuri Dixit was the original choice for the role of Rajeshwari "Rajjo" Pathak. In fact, Javed Akhtar wrote the song "Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To" keeping Madhuri in mind. However, due to scheduling conflicts she dropped out and was immediately replaced by Manisha Koirala who got the role after auditioning for the second time.
Anil Kapoor was offered the film but he refused as he was uncomfortable in a love story. He recommended Vidhu take Aamir Khan or Bobby Deol for the film. Vidhu would not take no for a answer and finally got Anil to sign.
An unshaven Kumar Sanu had gone to record a song for the movie. As per Kumar Sanu himself, RD Burman sent him back and asked him to shave and come well dressed for the rehearsal as well. RD believed this music was iconic and the singer has to feel fresh, youthful and romantic to render the songs. Kumar Sanu went back and recorded only when he could dress up and shave.
This was last complete film of RD Burman before his death. He was working on the background score of the film and had recorded some chorus singers from North East but his untimely death led to his assistants completing the background score.
