Mani Ratnam and Shekhar Kapur both turned down the chance to direct the film before Satish Kaushik was finalised. This film marked the debut of Sanjay Kapoor. This was Tabu's first Hindi film that she signed as a lead actress although Pehla Pehla Pyar (1994) released first. The film apparently took eight years to complete, owing to several delays, and had been in production since 1989. According to some media sources and reports, speculations erupted over possibilities of a deep chemistry between lead actors Sanjay and Tabu that was largely gossiped in film circles to have been unfolded during the film shooting. In an interview, actress Tabu revealed that it was Shekhar Kapur who convinced her to sign up for Prem and she said it was one of the worse decisions that she took in her life as she regretted taking up a role in the film. ==Songs==
