Aamir Khan said in a interview in 1996 that the film was a huge mess. A majority of the scenes were either removed from the film or re-shot from a fresher look as the film took 5 years to complete. Aamir Khan looks at the film as one of his biggest mistakes.
In the original script, a scene involved a clash between Aamir Khan and Om Puri which involved a lot of dialogs. Aamir Khan at first did not feel the scene was relevant to the film and demanded it would not be shot. 'Dilip Shankar' felt it was needed and later shot the scene. In the final edit, Dilip Shankar eventually felt Aamir Khan was right and it was not relevant, so it was edited out.
Most of Pooja Bedi's scenes were edited during the final edit of the film including a song with her and Aamir Khan.
When the film was originally announced (as Aatank) it starred Sunny Deol and 'Rajnikant' in lead roles.
Rajnikant would sit for hours during the shooting and would even sit for the scenes which did not involve him. After the day's shoot, he would always accompany 'Dilip Shankar' for dinner, as they were good friends.
