Production

The film was produced by then-retired actress Sridevi (Sanjay Kapoor's sister-in-law) under the banner Sridevi Productions and was supposed to be her comeback film, but she had to find a replacement when she found out she was pregnant. She initially offered her role to Kajol, but she rejected it so Karisma Kapoor was signed instead. Fardeen Khan was the original choice for Sanjay Kapoor's role and the film was originally titled Vaapsi.

The film was shot in Rajasthan, with rural sequences filmed in and around Jaipur, Pushkar, and Jaisalmer. The climax airport scene was filmed at Jodhpur Airport. Early scenes depicting the couple’s life abroad were shot in Vancouver and Calgary, with Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Alberta, featured in one of the songs.
