The film was originally entitled "Tu hi Bataa", and was to star Arjun Rampal and Raveena Tandon, with direction by Sanjay Gadhvi and Devang Dholakia, cinematography by Ashok Mehta, music by Viju Shah and lyrics by Anand Bakshi. Unfortunately filming came to a halt when the first song was shot and went over budget, causing Dholakia to chicken out. After an indefinite delay, the film recommenced shooting in February 2000, with Dholakia only as a producer and Gadhvi as the film's sole director.
