Speaking to FilmyGyan, Ismail recalled, “One day, Sanjay (Leela Bhansali) was listening to the song and there was a sound with some strong words in it. Suddenly, everyone went silent. I asked, ‘Brother, what’s wrong?’ Then Salman said, ‘Whenever I listen to this song, it causes me a lot of pain. Please don’t play it in front of me’.”
“I have seen Salman Khan extremely restless at that moment. Literally, I have seen Salman crying out loud and shouting. I witnessed that side of him myself,” he added.

But not just between them; there was a lot of affection among all of us. Zohra Sehgalji, Helen Aunty, Salman, Aishwarya, Vikram Gokhale, Smita Jayekar—we were like one big family. I don't think I've had such a fulfilling experience shooting any other film,” the filmmaker told us.
