  • Actor Shah Rukh Khan performed many of his own stunts, including a risky zip-line sequence over a waterfall.
  • The character 'Baadshah' was partly inspired by the Hollywood film 'The Mask of Zorro', which also released in 1998.
  • This was the first film where Shah Rukh Khan and director duo Abbas-Mustan collaborated, leading to later hits like 'Race'.
