Akshaye Khanna had signed the film "Uljhan" (2001) along with Raveena Tandon and had even started filming for it in 1995. However, when Raveena was replaced by Deepti Bhatnagar, he quit, and Puru Rajkumar was brought on board. These changes delayed the film, and it was released only in 2001. Producer Pahlaj Nihalani ended up using one of the songs of "Uljhan" (2001) that was shot on Akshaye Khanna in this film without crediting him. This song became Khanna's first screen appearance, ahead of his official debut, "Himalay Putra" (1997).[1][2]
