Did you know?

1. Amitabh Bachchan only committed to this project due to his personal association with the movie's former producer 'Sujit Kumar', who approached him for the role.
2. Originally Zayed Khan was approached to play the obsessive boyfriend's role, but because of his commitment to another movie he declined.
3. At the launch of the movie Vikram Bhatt claimed he had written the story of the movie himself and was inspired by his relationship with his daughter whom he had separated because of his divorce.
4. The movie was shelved whilst in production, due to its producer [error] falling in financial difficulties. However it was reviewed once Cutting Edge Entertainment got involved with the project.
5. In a scene in the mountains you can see the registration letter C-GEJC on a small yellow float plane. This aircraft (Cessna A185F) is registered to Whistler Air, a Canadian company. This suggests that the mountain scenes were shot in British Columbia, which would explain the west coast architecture of the holiday house.
6. The song "Tum agar bas", is inspired by the Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali khan's Qawaali "Tum agar younhi nazrein".
7. John Abrahams voice was dubbed in the film.
