Trivia
Juhi Chawla was considered for the role of Ganga, but Subhash Ghai was so impressed with Mahima Choudhary that he gave her the role.
When Subhash Ghai decided on putting Mahima Choudharyin this movie, he changed her name from Ritu to Mahima cause the letter 'M" was lucky for a Subhash Ghai debut (Manisha Koirala and Madhuri Dixit).
