Trivia
- The film was originally planned as a much darker, more serious fantasy before being reworked into a family-friendly adventure.
- Amitabh Bachchan's role as the Genie was written specifically for him, marking his first time playing such a magical character.
- The movie's title is stylized as 'Aladin' with a single 'd', unlike the traditional spelling of 'Aladdin'.
- It was partially shot in South Africa, with some desert and palace scenes filmed there to create a mythical look.
- The film underperformed at the box office, leading to it being noted as a commercial disappointment despite its star cast.
- Director Sujoy Ghosh has said the film was inspired by the classic tale but aimed to place it in a modern, college setting.
- Riteish Deshmukh's character name, 'Aladin Chatterjee', was chosen to give the classic hero a relatable, Indian surname.
