Trivia:
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was offered the lead role, but turned it down because she felt that her real-life marriage to Abhishek Bachchan would ruin the whole idea of the movie.

This is the first Indian film with a main plot based on gay relationships. The first film in India to take homosexuality seriously was Girlfriend (2004), based on lesbian relationships.

Saif Ali Khan was offered John Abraham's role but turned it down.
