 The film was originally entitled "Tu hi Bataa", and was to star  Arjun Rampal (qv) and Raveena Tandon (qv), with direction by Sanjay  Gadhvi (qv) and Devang Dholakia (qv), cinematography by Ashok  Mehta (qv), music by Viju Shah (qv) and lyrics by Anand Bakshi (qv).  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 films sole  director.
