Madhuri Dixit was the original choice for the role of Rajeshwari "Rajjo" Pathak. In fact, Javed Akhtar wrote the song "Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To" keeping Madhuri in mind. However, due to scheduling conflicts she dropped out and was immediately replaced by Manisha Koirala who got the role after auditioning for the second time.
Aamir Khan was signed on to play the lead role, but wasn't able to give dates to Vidhu Vinod Chopra, so he was replaced with Anil Kapoor.
