Trivia

Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan were both offered the main roles of Altaf and Inayat, but couldn't fulfill it due to their commitment to Mohabbatein (2000) which released the same Diwali weekend.

The film's composers - Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani, and Loy Mendonsa of Shankar Ehsaan Loy - appear as themselves onscreen during the song 'Rind Posh Maal', the peace concert being filmed in Sufi's TV studio. (Mission Kashmir became Shankar Ehsaan Loy's breakthrough film as composers for cinema.)

Security is always tight in Kashmir, due to the very real threat of terrorist violence. (Which is, after all, what this film is about.) But when lead actor Hrithik Roshan arrived on location to start shooting Mission Kashmir, his first film had not yet released to theatres, so no one recognized his face. Arriving for the first day's shoot dressed as a Kashmiri militant, which he portrays in the film, security thought Hrithik really WAS Kashmiri - because of his fair skin and light colouring - and refused to allow him on set! Shortly thereafter, on 14 Jan 2000 Hrithik's début film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai turned him superstar overnight, 'Hrithikmania' swept India ... and his face was instantly recognized everywhere.
