Fardeen Khan was the original choice for Sanjay Kapoor's role.
Renowned South Indian actor Prakash Raj made his Bollywood debut with this film. He plays the role of a sharp shooter and he barely has any dialogue in the film.
Nana Patekar & Manisha Koirala was the original choice, but Manisha had stopped working with Nana then. Kajol was also considered, but Karishma Kapoor stepped in.
Shah Rukh was convinced to do the film by saying his role was as powerful as Amitabh's in Andha Kanoon.
