The film was completed within 36 days.
The film's story line was inspired by a incident in writer Reema Rakesh Nath's life. She was signed for the film Jawani Deewani and met with a terrible accident. She broke her leg in two places. She needed a rod in her leg. Her collar bone was broken and she got 11 stitches on her face. There was a fear she would walk with a limp for the rest of her life. The doctor was worried about Reema. Being young and unmarried, he wondered if any boy would marry her. This is how Sanjay Dutt's character Aman was born.
The song Pehli baar mile hain...' from Saajan compsoed

Aamir Khan was the initial choice of Aman/Sagar, and while he liked the script and thought the movie would go on to be a blockbuster, he did not connect with the role to his satisfaction.
