Production

Director Shaad Ali began pre-production for Jhoom Barabar Jhoom in 2005 while working on Bunty Aur Babli (2005). Originally it was titled Sangam Mein.

Abhishek Bachchan was the first actor to be cast. Vidya Balan and Priyanka Chopra were approached for the role of Anaida Raza, and John Abraham was considered for the role of Steve Singh, but all declined. The roles eventually went to Lara Dutta and Bobby Deol. Amitabh Bachchan made a special appearance.

The film marked the first pairing of Bachchan and Preity Zinta. It was also the first collaboration between Bachchan and Deol. The film reunited Deol with Zinta after Soldier (1998), and Bachchan with Dutta after Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost (2003).

Filming commenced in the latter half of 2006, with principal photography in London, including scenes at Waterloo Station and other areas in North London. Some schedules also took place in Paris and Agra. Choreography was handled by Vaibhavi Merchant.
