What's left behind the scenes

  • Initially, Kajol was considered for the role of Mandira, but since she did not want to participate in the filming, the role was given to Karisma Kapoor. Without much hesitation, Kajol nevertheless agreed to participate in the film.
  • Shah Rukh Khan even off-set tried not to break character.
  • Shah Rukh Khan flew to the United States to participate in the film's promotional campaign, but got stuck at customs. It took more than an hour to resolve the situation. Everyone assumed it was a clever publicity stunt until it turned out not to be. The film's producers were furious about the treatment of the actor. However, his character in the film "My Name is Khan" didn't fare much better.
  • Karisma Kapoor was originally supposed to play the main female role in the film, but producer Karan Johar insisted that the role be given to his favorite actress, Kajol.
  • While working on the role, Shah Rukh Khan spent time with people suffering from Asperger's syndrome, watched hospital video recordings, and read relevant books to understand how these people behave, walk, and talk.
  • Zakir's house in San Francisco is the same one used as the Tanner family's home in the sitcom "Full House" (1987-1995).
  • Director Karan Johar and screenwriter Shibani Bathija spoke with Chris and Gisela Slater-Walker, the authors of the book that inspired Bathija to include a love story in the script.
  • Shabana Azmi was initially cast as Rizvan's mother, but she left the project due to a delay in filming caused by the lead actor's shoulder injury.
  • The role of Zakir was to be played by Amir Bashir, but he was unable to obtain an American visa, and the role went to Jimmy Shergill.
  • The bald store owner was played by Bollywood director and actor Tarun Mansukhani.
  • The flood episode in Wilhelmina, Georgia, was inspired by Hurricane Katrina (2005), which caused particularly heavy damage to New Orleans. This episode was filmed in Mumbai, India, which was experiencing a drought. The filming lasted 10 days, and 20 water tankers were used each day, each containing 12,000 liters. A family of four consumes an average of about 360 liters of water. The drought in Mumbai ended during filming.
