Production
Kajol was initially offered the female lead in the film. However, she refused, as she was concerned about Aamir Khan's habit of doing multiple takes. The role ultimately went to Twinkle Khanna. Darshan told in an interview that the 1971 film Caravan was an inspiration for Mela.
Aditya Pancholi was signed for villain's role but opted out as he did not want to be bare chested throughout the film.
