TRIVIA

Trivia

The following statement appears before the film begins. As it is being displayed, a voice-over (presumably that of the statement's author) reads it in Hindi : "None of the characters or situations depicted in this film are imaginary or fictional, really speaking. They are echoes of what is happening all around us in our so called civilized society. At best, these voices - cries, and shrieks, pleas and whispers - have been amplified for deaf people to take note. After all, the greatness of a civilization can only be measured by the status of its women." Rajukumar Santoshi

Tabu was initially offered the role Mahima eventually did in the film, but turned it down because Rajkumar Santoshi was offering a remuneration lower than her market price.

Karisma Kapoor turned down a role in the film after finding out there was a large star cast, and decided she did not wish to be a part of it. Eventually Mahima was signed for the role.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was offered a role in the film, but the movie was already very long, forcing Rajkumar Santoshi to withdraw.

Sunny Deol was cast in the role done by Ajay Devgan.However, he was asking for a salary that was beyond the means of the budget, and Rajkumar Santoshi dropped him.
