Interesting facts

Mujhse Dosti Karoge! is a 2002 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy drama film written and directed by Kunal Kohli in his directorial debut, and produced by Yash Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner. The film stars Hrithik Roshan, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor, and Uday Chopra. Set across London and India, the narrative centers on a love triangle between three childhood friends. It marked Kohli's first collaboration with Yash Raj Films as a director, and the only on-screen pairing of Roshan and Mukerji, despite both appearing in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001).

Production

Mujhse Dosti Karoge! marked the directorial debut of Kunal Kohli, who previously worked in advertising and television. While the film was likened to the 1996 American romantic comedy The Truth About Cats & Dogs, Kohli clarified that the inspiration was limited to the mistaken identity angle and that "not one scene from it is the same." Neil Nitin Mukesh worked as an assistant director for the film.

The film featured Hrithik Roshan, Rani Mukerji, and Kareena Kapoor in the lead roles. It marked Roshan and Kapoor's third collaboration following Yaadein (2001) and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001). Uday Chopra made a special appearance as Rohan Verma, while Barkha Singh portrayed the younger version of Tina Kapoor.

Rani Mukerji described the film as a “privilege” and recalled that working on it was an enjoyable experience due to her rapport with Roshan. Roshan likened the role to his earlier work in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000).

Kareena Kapoor took on the role of Tina Kapoor, a vibrant and glamorous character. Though initially hesitant to accept a secondary role, she was persuaded by Kohli and producer Aditya Chopra. Kapoor saw the role as unconventional, stating, “I play a loser, yet emerge the winner,” and considered it a performance her fans would enjoy.

Principal photography was conducted across several domestic and international locations, including Shimla, Manali, Mumbai, London, and]. Choreography for the film's musical sequences was handled by Ahmed Khan, while costumes were designed by Manish Malhotra and Rocky Star. Sharmishta Roy served as the film's production designer.
