This Rajshri production had a huge star cast that included Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Monish Behl, Karisma Kapoor, Tabu, Sonali Bendre, Neelam, Alok Nath, Reema Lagoo, Satish Shah and Himani Shivpuri.

Madhuri Dixit was initially offered Tabu's role, but refused; she felt it would not be appropriate for her to play Salman's bhabhi after playing his romantic interest in HAKH.

Salman, too, was not very happy with his role; he was more interested in playing the happy-go-lucky Vinod, a role that eventually went to Saif Ali Khan.

The 'modern' version of the Ramayana worked for the masses, and was declared a hit. Unfortunately, this has been their last success till date. Their next two releases, Uff Yeh Mohabbat Hai and Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon bombed at the box office.
