Trivia

  • Actor Ajay Devgn performed his own stunts in the action sequences, including a scene where he jumps between moving vehicles.
  • The movie's soundtrack, composed by Anand-Milind, includes a song that was originally planned for another film but was reused here.
  • Jaan was one of the early films where actress Twinkle Khanna played a lead role, though she later left acting for a career in writing and interior design.
  • The film's release faced competition from several other major Bollywood movies in 1996, which affected its initial box office performance.
