The filmmakers got in trouble for this scene and had to chop it down later. This dialogue is from Maine Pyar Kiya as well. In another scene in the film, SRK’s character talks to Deepika’s Dreamy Girl poster and keeps repeating the line, “Tum bore toh nahi ho rahi na?”. This dialogue was immortalised in Sooraj Barjatya’s 1989 film, Maine Pyar Kiya, along with the signature ‘Friend’ cap.

A musical portion in the song was with reference to the popular Humjoli (1970) song, “Dhal Gaya Din Ho Gayi Shaam”.Īfter casting Deepika Padukone for this film, Farah Khan was deeply impressed by the old-world charm that she perfectly embraced. Sunil Dutt from Amrapali (1966), Rajesh Khanna from Sachaa Jhutha (1970) and Jeetendra from Jay Vejay (1977) were all part of the song.
