Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film was originally supposed to star Salman Khan opposite Govinda, but scheduling conflicts brought Amitabh back to comedy after years of action-hero roles.
This cemented the 'twin swap' formula David Dhawan perfected — later recycled in Judwaa and countless imitators. The 'Makhna' song became a wedding staple across India.
