Both queens turned it down.

(3) The role then went to Divya Bharti and she accepted.

(4) Aishwarya Rai was screen-tested by Yash Chopra in early 1993 for potentially this role, or another film as her launch as he was very eager to work with her, but things didn't work out... as the Miss India thing took-off.

(5) Apparently Raveena Tandon was also offered the film, but she declined because her fiancé Akshay Kumar had promised her a wedding ring, so she wrapped up all her films by 1994/1995... but she... didn't even get a rakhi 🤓

(6) Anyways, I think Juhi Chawla was the perfect choice for the film, she had a blockbuster year overall too 😎❤️

Yes the whole world wants Aishwarya Rai madam in all their movies.

Whatever.

The right people ended up getting the film. Too bad Sunny wasn't replaced too. 😒

Tab toh picture Blockbuster nahi hoti. Would have ended up like Anjaam. 

Look at the standards we had during those good old times. Divya Bharti dropped for Juhi Chawla, both ace actresses and super pretty ones

Now??

He was the best thing about this movie ❤️ Overshadowed both Juhi and Sunny IMO, found both of them annoying in the film and unki pairing ka to kya hi kehna 🤢

Who should've replaced Sunny then? Amir Khan?

Could have been a better choice. 

What's wrong with SD's performance? He suited the role of a tagada naval officer who physically takes the psycho down in a one on one fight

Also in those days women supposedly preferred strong  tall men... Then came the puny man era

He replaced her than himself got replaced 

Karma is a bitch
