This was the first film produced under the banner of Dreamz Unlimited, a production house started by Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla and Aziz Mirza. This was third time they worked together. Shah Rukh and Juhi had starred earlier in "Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman" (1992) and "Yes Boss" (1997) directed by Aziz Mirza. Unlike the previous two films, however, this film was a big failure. Shah Rukh and Juhi appeared together again in an Aziz Mirza film, "Kismat Konnection" (2008), but this time Juhi played a cameo and Shah Rukh was the narrator.[1][2][3]
Small portions of two songs in this film - "I Am The Best" and "Aur Kya" - were adapted from the title song of the 1968 musical film "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang".
Some elements in this film were inspired by the Hollywood comedy "Switching Channels" (1988).
