Trivia

  • The film's climax scene was shot in a real stock exchange in Mumbai, with real traders as extras.
  • Mani Ratnam originally planned to make the film in Tamil, but later decided to make it in Hindi.
  • A.R. Rahman composed the music in just 10 days, which is unusually fast for him.
  • The character of Gurukant Desai is loosely inspired by the life of Indian industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani.
  • Abhishek Bachchan gained weight for the role to look older in the later parts of the film.
  • The film's title 'Guru' was almost changed to avoid confusion with another film releasing around the same time.
  • Mithun Chakraborty's role as Manik Das Gupta was written specifically for him after Mani Ratnam saw his earlier work.
